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.

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but being Bournemouth's best defender isn't really high praise.

  20. Party time

  21. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

  22. Chucky
    • 12 Years

  23. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus to start against Bournemouth?

    Needs confidence and goals give confidence...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't need an injury.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’ll most likely start. Am thinking maybe a midfield triple up.

  24. SH1M1
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to captain

    Bruno
    KDB
    Willian

    1. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone vs. Norwich

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If you're chasing, Willian. If he starts.

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

      Willian due to KDB maybe benched.

    4. SH1M1
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yh leaning towards Willian, Palace look on the beach though so i can see another Bruno haul too

    Side note: here in South Africa, they just announced a few rules to tighten our lockdown because of the rate of increase of the Rona.

    Ban of alcohol sales with immediate effect. A curfew that states it is illegal to be outside your house from 9PM to 4AM. Just fantastic...

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hearing here in Nigeria we could be having a total lockdown till November. Just rumours for now however

  26. Scholes Out For Summer

  27. Dacra
    • 12 Years

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thanks lads

  29. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather own Jesus or Foden for the BOU fixture?

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Toss a coin

    2. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus by far

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

      Foden because I am more convinced he starts.

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      foden due to security of start

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think Foden gets Bournemouth and Norwich.

    Where did it all go wrong for Bournemouth? Their decline this season has been steep. They were a solid mid table side for a few years.

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

      Ryan Fraser hasn’t helped, Wilson’s bizarre goal drought, Brooks injury and King has been ineffective/had injury issues.
      They’ve never been solid at the back either and relied on goal output, which has dried up largely due to the above.

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

      Haven't improved from a few years ago. Wilson, King, Fraser basically peaked and just a slight drop-off from them means Bournemouth are crap. Doesn't help that signings like Solanke and Ibe are crap.

      Burnley and Newcastle in similar position. Lots of their players are probably performing close to their peak, A slight drop-off and then are screwed.

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very bad transfer business can't have helped.
