Bournemouth were written off as relegation fodder by some pundits during pre-season, but the Cherries currently sit in an impressive 13th place. Granted, the south coast side are only three points above the relegation zone, but they’re currently four games unbeaten since sacking manager Scott Parker in the wake of a 0-9 humiliation at the hands of Liverpool. Bournemouth’s sole goal this season is survival, and as it stands, they’re making very solid progress toward that objective.
Meanwhile, Leicester finally managed to claim their first win of the season at home to east midlands rival Nottm Forest. The 4-0 result was exactly what manager Brendan Rogers needed to relieve some of the pressure surrounding his position.
Now, the Foxes need to string together a few results in order to lift themselves out of the relegation zone and push up the table. James Maddison continuing his remarkable early season form — the midfielder has five goals and two assists in seven matches — will be vital if that is to happen.
Statistically, Bournemouth and Leicester have the leakiest defences in the league, having conceded 19 and 22 goals respectively, so the smart money would suggest this will be a fairly open match, especially as both teams really need a positive result.
Here's how they line up:
Bournemouth: Neto, Fredericks, Cook, Mepham, Lerma, Solanke, Christie, Smith, Tavernier, Senesi, Billing.
Leicester: Ward, Justin, Faes, Evans, Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison, Daka, Dewsbury-Hall, Castagne, Soumare.

The Bournemouth vs Leicester live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.
