Bournemouth vs. Leicester City Match Preview
Currently sitting 12th in the EPL table, Bournemouth has just won two games since October. The first one was a 6-1 win on October 15 against Hull City and the other was the thrilling 4-3 comeback victory against Liverpool over a week ago.
The Cherries are coming off a disappointing 3-2 loss to Burnley last weekend. Manager Eddie Howe did not like the fact that his team conceded two early goals in their last game. He is worried about Leicester City since they might have found their swagger back.
The reigning EPL champions ran rampant against Manchester City at King Power Stadium last Saturday. Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick as The Foxes have the momentum going into this game. Manager Claudio Ranieri called out his team to win against Bournemouth and the next game against Stoke City.
"It is very important because if you lose the next two matches you forget this great performance against City and for us it's fundamental to get points at Bournemouth and Stoke. There are two big battles to come but with these warriors, I am very confident," Ranieri said, per The Guardian.

Bournemouth (4-4-2): Artur Boruc; Charlie Daniels, Nathan Ake, Simon Francis, Steve Cook; Ryan Fraser, Harry Arter, Jack Wilshere, Dan Gosling; Callum Wilson, Benik Afobe
