Leicester City host Bournemouth at the King Power Stadium on Saturday (April 8) in the Premier League.
The hosts have endured a near-disastrous campaign, finding themselves in the drop zone, prompting the dismissal of manager Brendan Rodgers. Leicester lost 2-1 to in-form Aston Villa in their last game. They looked set to head towards a draw before a loose pass from Wilfred Ndidi saw the Villans score a late winner. Leicester are 19th in the Premier League with 25 points from 29 games and are just two points above last-placed Southampton.
Trending
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have also had their struggles this season and find themselves in a battle for survival. They lost 2-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion in their last game. Bournemouth created chances to get on the scoresheet but failed to convert before the Seagulls sealed the win late on.
