The last of four Premier League matches to take place on Sunday sees Leicester City head south to take on relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

Kick-off at the Vitality Stadium is at 19:00 BST.

Jamie Vardy (£9.8m) was the second-most-bought Fantasy Premier League asset of Gameweek 35+ and he starts this evening, with his non-involvement in training on Friday proving to be a lot of fuss about nothing.

Vardy has three goals in his last two starts and comes up against a Bournemouth side who had the worst post-restart defensive record before this weekend.

The Cherries did register their first clean sheet of 2020 on Thursday evening, however, holding Spurs to a goalless draw.

It’s wins and not draws that Howe’s troops need, with the south coast club six points adrift of safety with just four matches to play.

The Foxes sit fourth in the Premier League table, meanwhile, with only two points separating the two sides immediately above and below then.

Brendan Rodgers has made one change to his starting XI that featured in the midweek draw with Arsenal, with defender Christian Fuchs (£4.2m) brought in to replace Ryan Bennett (£4.8m).

Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) is once again among the substitutes.

Bournemouth have made three changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Tottenham, with Arnaut Danjuma (£5.8m), Dominic Solanke (£5.1m) and Jack Stacey coming into Howe’s starting XI.

Junior Stanislas (£5.8m) drops to the bench, while Joshua King (£6.1m) and Adam Smith (£4.3m) miss out through injury.

The reverse fixture between these two sides ended 3-1 to Leicester back in Gameweek 4, with Vardy involved in all three of his club’s goals and emerging with a 16-point haul.


Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale, Stacey, Ake, Kelly, Rico, Brooks, Gosling, Lerma, Danjuma, Solanke, C Wilson.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Fuchs, Soyuncu, Evans, Justin, Albrighton, Tielemans, Ndidi, Perez, Iheanacho, Vardy.

    Kane wouldn’t be able to finish that because he’d still be on the half way line.

  25. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That’s it Vardy, 2 more to make the -8 I took pay off!

    TAA to VVD (+1)
    Son to Mane (-11)
    Kane to Vardy (?)

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Oh wait I need Vardy to get 20 points to break even so hat trick and assist please!

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I did Jimenez to Vardy (Jimmy bagged) and Son to Salah -4. I don't even want to work out the deficit on those moves unless Vardy gets a hatty here.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah it’s sickening isn’t it, to make things worse I captained Mane too!

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I'm glad my fear of a Salah rest kept me from captaining him. Bruno (c) to rescue my gameweek again tomorrow I hope.

    Reckon Alonso starts against Norwich?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very tempting.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      50/50. Not sure who Lampard was unhappy with after the Norwich match. I thought Alonso did okay after he came on though.

    4. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like that shout actually

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

        6 years, 1 month ago

        Though we’re both probably looking at it through rose tinted glasses, unfortunately not nailed anymore nor seems to have the same effect going forward when he does play.

        Will never forget his brace and clean sheet away at Leicester, very fond memories.

  29. Firminooooo
