Team News

Leicester
Bournemouth
  • Claudio Ranieri welcomed back Danny Drinkwater to the team on Tuesday night, leaving Jeffrey Schlupp and Matt James as his only injury absentees for this fixture.
  • The Leicester manager put five in midfield for the 0-0 draw against Manchester City, but is expected to revert to a more attacking formation this time around with one of Leonardo Ulloa or Shinji Okazaki expected to partner Jamie Vardy up front.
  • Gokhan Inhler could be the man to miss out here.
  • Eddie Howe has no new injury concerns for the trip to the King Power Stadium and will name his strongest possible XI.

Prediction

  • Leicester have now not scored in consecutive league games for the first time this season, but they did come against Liverpool and Manchester City. Their title challenge was expected to collapse around the festive period, but they will start 2016 level on points with Arsenal and have the chance to get back to winning ways against newly promoted Bournemouth.
  • The Cherries have been in good form lately, but saw a run of six games without defeat come to an end at the hands of Arsenal last time out. The defeat wouldn't have knocked confidence too much and they will be hoping to get some points on the board here, although that could prove too much for them.
