Leicester City in search of maiden win as Bournemouth clash nears.

After coming close to sealing a point against Arsenal last time out, the Foxes will take on Bournemouth as they continue the search for a maiden win since their Premier League return. Leicester City vs. Bournemouth kicks off at 15:00 [GMT+1] on Saturday, October 5, at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City [LLDDL] remained without a win since their return to the Premier League after last weekend’s dramatic 4-2 loss to Arsenal. The Foxes had come close to earning a point after James Justin bagged a brace [47’, 63’], levelling the scoreline having been two goals down. However, they failed to hold on, conceding twice inside stoppage time for what became their third defeat of the season [0W, 3D, 3L]. The home side are in 17th place on the table before the weekend’s game against Bournemouth, where they hope to find a maiden season win having failed to end Arsenal’s 39-game unbeaten run against promoted sides on home soil. However, they remain on the verge of a seven-game winless run in back-to-back topflight campaigns. In addition, a torrid run of form against the visitors is nothing to write home about. Leicester have won just two of their 12 Premier League games against Bournemouth [2W, 5D, 5L]. A 4—2—3—1 with Jamie Vardy in attack is expected. Leicester have no fresh injury concerns ahead of the weekend’s clash. However, Patson Daka, Jannik Vestergaard, and Jakub Stolarczyk are all ruled out.

Bournemouth moved two places up the table to 11th place after Monday night’s 3-1 win over Southampton. That victory put an end to a two-game losing run [DWLLW], leaving the Cherries with eight points having won as many games as they have drawn [2W, 2D, 2L]. A trip to Leicester could leave Bournemouth with back-to-back victories, but a poor record on the road may once again prevent the Cherries from returning with three points. Since winning four consecutive away league games in November/December last season, Bournemouth have won just three of their last 13 on the road [3W, 3D, 7L]. However, a fine form against Leicester City leaves the Cherries with something to hold on to ahead of Saturday’s clash. Bournemouth are on a three-game winning run in the Premier League against Leicester City. A 4—2—3—1 with Evanilson, who broke the duck, with a maiden goal for Bournemouth on Monday night against the Saints, may be seen again. The 24-year-old Brazilian will be looking to bag a second for the club. Meanwhile, manager Andoni Iraola will be without Tyler Adams, who is Bournemouth’s only confirmed absentee.
