Rival Lines
LTID: Top 10 for us which I would take after the season we have had to endure, and if you can get your early season form back no reason why you couldn’t join us.
Thanks for the answers Chris. I'd like to think this will be an entertaining game with plenty of goalmouth action at both ends. It could be one of those games which just comes down to who finishes their chances better as the league table shows there is not much between these two sides.

Match Preview: Leicester City v AFCB
Blogger Interview: Leicester Till I Die
Twitter: @Leicestertid
While AFCB were soaking up the hot temperatures in Dubai, I sent a quick request off to Chris Forryan at Leicester Till I Die to answer some questions ahead of the game with Bournemouth. Leicester City have had am improving season and yet have still changed their manager as well as suffered a horrible tragedy losing their owner. So are their fans confident they can finish the season in good for with a tilt at trying to get into Europe?
CC: Has the mood changed much around Leicester now that you have a new manager?
LTID: OMG YES YES & YES!!! The atmosphere was flat under Puel. Played like crabs side to side nothing to get the crowd excited, but a top manager has been appointed and the future looks bright with the exciting players we have in our squad.
CC: Do you think Brendan Rodgers was the right appointment?
LTID: Personally yes, sooner have had Rodgers then Benetiz, as did the majority of the fans so they can’t complain if it goes wrong, that said we are football fans so of course we will.
Puel was given the poisoned chalice of breaking up the old Premier League winning squad bringing through and in the youngsters which to be fair he had started to do. But the results were not there as the changes were made. Rodgers likes young attacking teams, hopefully will be a perfect match – time will of course, tell.
CC: Are Leicester strong enough to play in Europe next season if you do finish seventh?
LTID: Were we strong enough to play in the Champions League when we won the title? Nuff said.
CC: Has James Maddison been one of Leicester's best buys in a long time?
LTID: Was overjoyed when we signed him, I think Rodgers will give him more freedom to express his natural talents.
CC: The home form has been good but clean sheet seem to have escaped you, but can you see the team keeping more clean sheets in these final games?
LTID: Our back 3/4 is a work in progress. Maybe not this season but once Rodgers gets his best players in the positions he wants I think it will come but maybe it will be next season.
CC: Leicester had a strange match at Bournemouth earlier this season, but Leicester fought back to get two goals. Do you expect Leicester to be better organised to deal with Bournemouth's pace this time?
LTID: I’ll let you know at 5pm on Saturday!! Rodgers came in to steady the ship till the end of the season and see his squad in competitive games, but I really do hope so.
CC: Have Leicester got any major player injuries?
LTID: Albrighton who is out till the end of the season.
CC: How do you expect Leicester to line up for this game?
LTID: Its anyone's guess as Rodgers is experimenting, but Morgan should return to defence to cover Maguire’s one game ban. But would like to see Gray get some more time under Rodgers as he is one player that could benefit form Rodgers coming in and he has great potential.
