The hosts kick us off and we are underway!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League clash between Leicester City and Bournemouth at the King Power Stadium.
The hosts come into this huge game at the bottom without a manager after Brendan Rodgers was relieved of his duties last weekend with the club in the bottom three. A run of six defeats in their last seven means the Foxes, who famously won the Premier League in the 2015-16 campaign, sit 19th and are in desperate need of points if they are to stay up.
The visitors, meanwhile, are also in the drop zone, though they have managed three wins over their last seven matches to give them a fighting chance of survival in what is proving to be a thrilling relegation battle. Their form on the road has been troublesome, picking up just two victories away from the Vitality Stadium all season to leave them 18th and in the bottom three because of their -30 goal difference, which is the worst in the division.
LEICESTER CITY (4-3-3): Daniel Iversen; Ricardo Pereira, Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes, Timothy Castagne; Boubakary Soumare, Victor Bernth Kristiansen; James Maddison, Jamie Vardy, Harvey Barnes.
SUBS: Mateus Tete, Jonny Evans, Nampalys Mendy, Luke Thomas, Danny Ward, Patson Daka, Dennis Praet, Kelechi Iheanacho, Harry Souttar.
BOURNEMOUTH (4-4-1-1): Neto; Adam Smith, Jack Stephens, Chris Mepham, Lloyd Kelly; Ryan Christie, Joe Rothwell, Jefferson Lerma, Dango Ouattara; Philip Billing; Dominic Solanke.
SUBS: David Brooks, Antoine Semenyo, Kieffer Moore, Marcus Tavernier, Lewis Cook, Matias Vina, Mark Travers, Jaidon Anthony, Illia Zabarnyi.
The two teams make their way onto the pitch ahead of this huge game in the Premier League relegation battle.
The Foxes were booed off at the end of that first half having failed to record an attempt on target. They have produced very little going forward, and that will have to change if they are to avoid what could be a huge defeat in their fight against the drop.
Thanks for joining us for live coverage of Bournemouth's 1-0 Premier League victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. Goodbye!
The defeat deepens managerless Leicester's relegation fears, leaving them two points from safety with just eight games left to seal their place in next season's Premier League. Their main worry will be the lack of attacking threat, producing just 0.68 xG (expected goals) despite trailing for the majority of the game. For the Cherries, they have now won four of their last eight and move up to 15th, crucially extending their gap to the bottom three to three points.
