Pre Match Bournemouth v Leicester

[Jeff]

Head-to-head

• The away side has never won in 10 previous Premier League meetings.
• Leicester's most recent away win at Bournemouth came in the Championship in February 2014, thanks to an 81st-minute winner by Kevin Phillips.

AFC Bournemouth

• The Cherries are unbeaten in all four Premier League fixtures since Scott Parker was sacked, winning once and drawing the other three.
• They conceded 16 goals across their three league defeats this season but only let in three in their other five matches.
• This is the 100th Premier League game at the Vitality Stadium - Bournemouth have won 35 and lost 37.
• Bournemouth have not scored in the first half of a league game since Jefferson Lerma's second-minute strike against Aston Villa on the opening day of the season.

Leicester City

• Leicester became the 20th and final Premier League team to win a game this season when they beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 on Monday. It ended a run of six consecutive league defeats.
• They have lost all four away league fixtures in 2022-23, conceding 17 goals. Their longest away losing streak from the beginning of a Premier League season is five, set in 2003-04.
• A 2-0 win at Burnley in March is Leicester's only clean sheet in their past 30 Premier League away matches.
• James Maddison has provided nine goals and five assists in his last 11 Premier League appearances - scoring in four of his past five away games.
• Jamie Vardy has failed to score after eight league appearances this season but has six goals in 10 top-flight games against Bournemouth.

Have we played at Bournemouth ten times in the Premier League?

Yes.

No. He means the five games at Bournemouth and the five at Leicester.

 

[bocadillo]

Yes.

...eeerrr No.

 

[Jeff]

...eeerrr No.

I read it too quickly, didn't notice the 'at'.

 

[Jeff]

I read it too quickly, didn't notice the 'at'.

Probably because it didn't say 'at' in the bit you quoted.

 

[Blaarev]

So what they probably meant to say was that in the 10 PL games between the two sides, there has never been an away win.

I understood it the way they wrote it.

Because after tomorrow it won’t have happened in 11 games?

Leicester 2 - 1 Bournemouth

 

[Jenks]

Didn't Salisbury ref the Saints game earlier in the season at KP? I seem to remember he was dire. But that's probably because we lost.

[Payne74]

The only changes I would make from the Forest game is Daka in for Vardy and Soumare in for Ndidi if Ndidi isn't fit.

I'm going for 1-3 Maddison, Fes and Daka for the Mighty Foxes

I read the match thread from that match the other day and noticed this...

Iheanacho hooked at half time for Praet.

Well done BR. Iheanacho has been excellent recently but not today.
