AFC Bournemouth registered their first point since lockdown in their last match, and will be hoping to get three points from their next game. Bournemouth moved up a place to 18th but now have to host fourth-placed Leicester City on Sunday.  In their Thursday match against Tottenham, Bournemouth earned a valuable point but are still three away from safety. It should have been better for the side battling relegation but they failed to make use of a dominant display and also had a goal ruled out.  The draw with Spurs brought to an end a run of four straight losses. Out of their last nine matches in the league, Bournemouth have collected just two points, so you can see why they are in the bottom three. They have not won at home in the four matches that have come after their 2-1 win over fellow strugglers, Aston Villa at the start of February. Bournemouth have managed seven wins in the league this season, and four of these have come in the 17 matches played at home. Only one clean sheet has been kept in their last 11 home league matches. They have conceded two goals or more in four of the last seven.

Leicester too, registered a draw in their last match. They needed a late equalizer to collect one point from the trip to Arsenal. Leicester have not had the best of runs since football resumed, with just one win in the six matches they have played and have kept just two clean sheets in the process. Jamie Vardy has scored three goals in the last two matches and that gives them the potency they earlier lacked in attack while Kelechi Iheanacho has also been crucial up front. The two will definitely be key in this game as the Foxes seek three points to see them stay in the Champions League hunt, being ahead of fifth placed Manchester United by just a point. Facing relegation threatened sides away from home has not come with good results for Leicester; they lost 1-0 to Norwich City and drew 1-1 with Watford earlier. As they head to this game, Leicester have no win in their last six away matches; three of them are losses, they have failed to score in two and managed just one clean sheet.
