Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Bournemouth vs Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday (kick-off 7pm).
Bournemouth have lost Adam Smith for the visit of Leicester on Sunday.
Smith was carried off with a head injury in the 0-0 draw against Tottenham on Thursday and Jack Stacey looks set to deputise at right-back.
Midfielder David Brooks should be available after suffering what was thought to be cramp versus Spurs, while defender Steve Cook should be in the squad despite not being 100 per cent fit following a hamstring injury.
James Maddison and Ben Chilwell have both been ruled out of Leicester's trip to Dorset.
The duo missed the midweek draw at Arsenal with hip and foot issues respectively, and boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed their continued absence.
Wolves loanee Ryan Bennett is expected to continue to deputise for Chilwell with Rodgers looking likely to name an unchanged side.
Bournemouth vs Leicester is live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event from 6.30pm; Kick-off 7pm. Sky Sports customers can watch in-game clips in the live match blog on the Sky Sports website and app. Highlights will also be published on the Sky Sports digital platforms and the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel shortly after the final whistle.
Bournemouth were a bit unlucky against Tottenham and probably should have won it. It was unlucky about the goal, but you can see there is a bit of fight. David Brooks and Callum Wilson are now back.
Jamie Vardy is going for the Golden Boot winner and he is always a threat. James Maddison may not be fit, but I still see enough problems with Leicester. They are not keeping the ball or moving it as well, but they do like an open game, and it does tend to favour Leicester when they get going like that. I think Bournemouth's fight and desire may get them over the line in this one.
