Back in the top flight, it’s not been easy for Leicester and new manager Steve Cooper. The Foxes are yet to register a league victory and have conceded 12 goals in just six games. These defensive concerns will need to be addressed quickly, especially against an in-form Bournemouth attack. The home fans will also be demanding more in attack, especially from Stephy Mavididi and Facundo Buonanotte. 

Following defeats to Chelsea and Liverpool, Bournemouth will be looking for back-to-back league wins after their crushing 3-1 win over Southampton. The Cherries were superb in the first half of that game, with Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie bossing midfield and forward Antoine Semenyo a constant threat. That trio will look to impose themselves against Leicester and could be key to victory. 

The Foxes did beat Bournemouth earlier this year in the FA Cup but needed extra-time to do so. Can they gain all three points this time around?

Tune in to find out who comes out on top, plus make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action with our how to watch Premier League live streams guide.

Unfortunately, there will be no Leicester vs Bournemouth live stream in the United Kingdom. That's because U.K. broadcasters are blocked from airing Saturday 3 p.m. kick-offs to protect attendances elsewhere in the football pyramid.

U.S. fans visiting the U.K. can use one of the best VPN services to access their usual streaming service from abroad. We recommend NordVPN.

As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.

For the 24/25 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video has the rights to 20 matches this season.
