Leicester v Bournemouth (15:00 GMT)
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe on Leicester: "Claude (Puel) has come in and slightly changed the way they are playing. They are more of a possession team now, which I think suits them.
"We are well aware of their threats and we need to be ready for a tough game."

Mark Lawrenson
BBC football expert
I am going for a Leicester win here. Seventh place looks very doable for them, especially with Burnley and Everton stuttering at present, and if the Foxes can put a bit of a run together, then they will be in the box seat.
Prediction: 2-0

'Howe's men nothing if not unpredictable'published at 14:36 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2018
Leicester v Bournemouth (15:00 GMT)
Martin Fisher
Match of the Day commentator
When these sides met on the south coast in September both were in the bottom four after dreadful starts to the season. They have recovered sufficiently since to dismiss relegation concerns, turning this meeting into a mid-table affair.
Leicester's recent form has been a bit patchy. Wins have been in short supply. Successive home draws with struggling duo Swansea and Stoke have frustrated their fans.
They could be in for another frustrating afternoon though. Eddie Howe's men are nothing if not unpredictable. Winning at Chelsea one week, getting thrashed at Huddersfield the next. They've also never lost to Leicester in the Premier League.
