Match facts

Head-to-head

  • Both of Leicester’s wins in 12 Premier League meetings came at the King Power Stadium in 2019: 2-0 in March, 3-1 in August.

Leicester City

  • Leicester can equal their longest winless start to a Premier League season of seven games, set two years ago.

  • They have scored and conceded in each of their six league fixtures so far this season (D3, L3). The only team to have a longer run of both scoring and conceding but remaining winless from the start of a Premier League campaign is Derby County in 2000-01 (first 8).

Bournemouth

  • Bournemouth secured only their second league victory in nine attempts at the expense of Southampton on Monday night (D2, L5).

  • They’ve won just three of their past 13 away league games, with two of those coming against sides in the relegation zone.

  • The Cherries have conceded in nine successive top-flight fixtures, their longest run without a clean sheet in the division since a 16-match streak between December 2019 and July 2020.
