How to watch Leicester vs Bournemouth live
Leicester vs Bournemouth is scheduled for 3pm on Saturday 5th October but will not be broadcast live in the UK.
How both teams go into Leicester vs Bournemouth
Leicester’s return to the Premier League isn’t really going to plan. The Foxes were pre-season favourites to go down and although they are currently out the relegation zone it’s not been great. Steve Cooper’s men have struggled and are one of five teams still awaiting their first Premier League win of the season.
The Foxes do have three draws to their name, holding Tottenham Hotspur in their opener alongside points against Crystal Palace and Everton. The draw against Palace saw Leicester feel aggrieved over Jean-Philippe Mateta’s first goal, which was narrowly given onside.
Bournemouth have more reason to be aggrieved. The Cherries have two wins to their name this season but it really should be three. They saw a goal to win the game against Newcastle United disallowed by VAR for handball, but it wasn’t a clear enough error to overturn.
So Brentford drew that game alongside another stalemate against Nottingham Forest to start the season. There was that historic comeback against Everton from 2-0 down, but Bournemouth have lost to Chelsea and Liverpool since.
Leicester host Bournemouth at the King Power Stadium on Saturday 5th October at 3pm.
Leicester team news
Leicester currently have three longer-term absentees with Jannik Vestergaard, Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk out injured.
Bournemouth team news
Tyler Adams is Bournemouth’s only injury worry. The American isn’t expected to make his Cherries debut until after the international break.
Leicester vs Bournemouth head-to-head
The last time both these sides were in the Premier League together, Bournemouth did the double over Leicester. But Leicester did knock Bournemouth out of the FA Cup last season.
