Leicester City have pulled themselves ahead of AFCB and yet, at the start of the season it was AFCB who were on top form against Leicester when they played at home. The return fixture is a very enticing match, not only because Leicester have a new manager who Eddie Howe is yet to beat, but a win for Bournemouth would put them level on points with Leicester.
The fate of Bournemouth's season rests on these last few games. Either we write it off as a good start, but a missed opportunity to have the best season so far in the Premier League, or the team gets back to it's early season form and heads into the top 10. One of the teams Bournemouth have to try and get past is their next opponents. Leicester have ambitions of their own to reach the top seven places, and yet they have found it hard to get back to back wins of late. Their home form is good though with wins over Fulham and Brighton in their last two home games.
Jamie Vardy is again getting on the score sheet and he heads their goal chart with 12 goals form his 27 appearances. Vardy's pace is still upsetting teams and while Bournemouth have usually had Steve Cook playing against him they will have to see how close Chris Mepham can get to Vardy in this game. This should be a good test for Mepham.
Another key battle will be between Wilfred Ndidi and Jefferson Lerma in midfield. Both are very mobile players and it will be important to prevent Ndidi from getting too far forward. Ndidi has a good record of influencing games from the middle and isn't afraid of getting shots off.
Leicester still have the same defenders though who will find it hard to compete well against the pace of Wilson and King. Bournemouth should have a stronger bench as well now that Dan Gosling, Adam Smith and Junior Stanislas have been training this week.
