It’s a big game for…

Eddie How: Currently sitting in sixteenth, Bournemouth are dangerously close to the relegation zone, and the changing room atmosphere will have suffered a blow after they were unable to break down the Arsenal defence or stop the attack, and subsequently had their six-game unbeaten streak broken. If they are able to bounce back strongly against Leicester, it will be an indicator as to the resolve of this team.

Best stat…

14: Leicester City had scored in fourteen consecutive home games prior to Tuesday night’s 0-0 draw with Manchester City.

Remember when…

Callum Wilson, sadly injured, scored with a bicycle kick in the return fixture earlier this season, as the two sides drew 1-1.

Player to watch…

N’Golo Kante: Signed in the summer by joint leaders Leicester, the midfielder has been having a quietly good season behind the stars of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, and was once again impressive earlier in the week as his side drew with Manchester City.
