Leicester City in search of maiden win as Bournemouth clash nears.
As Leicester City search for their first Premier League win since returning to the top flight, they face a buoyant Bournemouth side eager to secure back-to-back victories, setting up an intriguing clash at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City
Leicester City [LLDDL] remain without a win since returning to the Premier League after last weekend’s dramatic 4-2 loss to Arsenal. The Foxes came close to earning a point, with James Justin bagging a brace [47', 63'], leveling the scoreline after being two goals down. However, they conceded twice in stoppage time, resulting in their third defeat of the season [0W, 3D, 3L].
Currently sitting in 17th place, the team hopes to secure their first win of the season in the upcoming game against Bournemouth. They recently failed to end Arsenal's impressive 39-game unbeaten run against promoted sides on home soil, and now face the prospect of a seven-game winless streak in consecutive top-flight campaigns.
Their record against Bournemouth is less than stellar, having won just two of their 12 Premier League encounters [2W, 5D, 5L]. The expected formation is a 4—2—3—1, with Jamie Vardy leading the attack. Fortunately, Leicester have no new injury concerns, but Patson Daka, Jannik Vestergaard, and Jakub Stolarczyk remain unavailable.
AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth moved up two places to 11th in the table after Monday night's 3-1 win over Southampton. This victory ended a two-game losing streak, leaving the Cherries with eight points after two wins, two draws, and two losses.
A trip to Leicester could give Bournemouth back-to-back victories, but their poor away record might prevent them from returning with three points. Since winning four consecutive away league games last November and December, they have managed just three wins in their last 13 away matches.
However, Bournemouth's fine form against Leicester City offers them some hope, with three consecutive Premier League wins against the Foxes. A 4-2-3-1 formation featuring Evanilson, who scored his first goal for the club against Southampton, might be seen again. The 24-year-old Brazilian will aim to add a second goal for Bournemouth.
Manager Andoni Iraola will have to plan without Tyler Adams, as he is the only confirmed absentee for the Cherries.
