Head-to-head

• Leicester City have never lost a Premier League home match against Bournemouth in five previous meetings.
• Bournemouth can complete the league double over Leicester for the first time since 1989 in the second tier.
• The Cherries have won the past two Premier League meetings despite trailing at half-time. No team has ever won three in a row against the same opponent when losing at the interval.

Leicester City

• Leicester City have taken only one point from their last seven Premier League matches.
• Their tally of eight points since Christmas is the lowest in the division.
• The Foxes could lose against promoted teams in four straight top-flight games for the first time since 1995.
• Leicester have suffered three consecutive home league defeats for the second time this season. The Foxes have lost six of their last eight league fixtures at King Power Stadium.
• They have conceded in 14 successive league matches, the longest current run without a clean sheet of any top-flight team.
• Jamie Vardy has scored seven goals in 13 league appearances against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth

• Bournemouth have lost eight of their past nine Premier League away games, with the exception being a 1-0 win at Wolves in February.
• The win at Wolves is their only clean sheet in 24 top-flight away matches.
• The Cherries have conceded a league-high 38 goals in their 14 top-flight away fixtures this season.
• Bournemouth have lost eight 3pm kick-offs this season. Only Southampton, with 11, have lost more.
• Marcus Tavernier could become only the second Bournemouth player to score in three consecutive top-flight away appearances, emulating Josh King in March 2017.
• Tavernier has scored three goals and assisted four in his last four Premier League starts.
• Dominic Solanke and Philip Billing have either scored or assisted 10 of Bournemouth's 12 Premier League away goals this season.

Those Opta stat packs were much more fun to read in 2020 and 2021. And 2016, if they existed then.

 

[H T B]

When you break down those stats , it’s ****ing horrendous
1 point in 7 games!!!
6 out of last 8 lost at home
8 points since Christmas , lowest in the division


I’m just hoping that they didn’t wait too late to sack the smarmy git.

[Micky]

Clappers
Soumare
Amartey

All starting today.

Not Amartey but Soumare I believe

Clappers is a good idea imo but if we are really going to play a midfield trio of Ndidi Mendy and Soumare, we deserve to go down.

Even Bodgers wouldn't be that stupid, our pass completion will be about 70%.

This match is massive for us and it feels like we are just drifting towards the rocks.

We need a manager in ASAP.

It's got Harry Worley in midfield vibes

Those three have the best pass completion percentage of all our midfielders. 86/88/88%
But that's because they're not very ambitious with their passes.
So we might have good pass completion, without doing much with the ball.
