Bournemouth vs Leicester City live stream and match preview
Looking for a Bournemouth vs Leicester City live stream? We've got you covered.
Bournemouth remain unbeaten under Gary O’Neil, who has been in caretaker charge of the club since Scott Parker was sacked at the end of August. The Cherries drew 0-0 with Brentford last time out, having previously held Newcastle to a 1-1 tie at St James’ Park.
O’Neil has certainly made Bournemouth harder to beat and tougher to play against, but he will now want to start turning some of these draws into wins. He admitted in his pre-match press conference that his team needs to find a way to cause opponents “more problems” if they are to achieve their objective of staying in the Premier League.
Leicester registered a much-needed victory last time out, thrashing Nottingham Forest 4-0 in an East Midlands derby. It was a result that arguably saved Brendan Rodgers’ job, but the Leicester boss will find himself under pressure once more if his side suffers defeat at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
To take a more optimistic view, Leicester have a kinder run of fixtures coming up and there is no doubt that their squad contains enough quality to rise up the table. James Maddison in particular is in fantastic form right now, and Bournemouth will have their hands full in trying to keep him quiet.
Bournemouth will be unable to call upon the services of Joe Rothwell, Ben Pearson, David Brooks and Lloyd Kelly, while Ryan Fredericks is given a 50-50 chance of featuring.
Leicester will have to make do without Ricardo Pereira and Ryan Bertrand for the trip south, but Wilfred Ndidi is hopeful of being fit.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, and FourFourTwo currently recommends:
