There are two key lunchtime kick-offs to consider this afternoon, with Bournemouth hosting Liverpool and West Ham United making the trip to Leicester City. The Cherries will do well to stifle a Reds outfit that has discovered its attacking groove, while the Hammers could extend their unbeaten streak to eight matches with a result against Claudio Ranieri’s runaway leaders.

Bournemouth have work to do on the attacking front, given that they ranked fourth-bottom for attempts (37) and joint-third-bottom for shots on target (nine) across their previous four outings. No side shipped more goals (10) than Eddie Howe’s outfit during that period, which will be music to the ears of Fantasy managers that have invested in a Liverpool team that has amassed 18 goals in their last six match-ups.

Leicester have done just enough on the attacking front of late and relied upon their impervious defence to secure victories: the Foxes conceded zero goals and the joint-second fewest big chances (three) in their last four outings. That being said, the East Midlanders have their work cut out against a Hammers squad that ranked second for goals (10), third for attempts (67) and third for shots inside the box (41) across their previous four fixtures.
