    Home fans will be pleased to see Ryan Fraser, arguably Bournemouth's best player in the early games, named in the starting XI after missing Scotland's win over Albania with a hamstring problem.

    Having switched to a back three at Chelsea, Eddie Howe's regular 4-4-2 is restored, with defender Simon Francis making way for David Brooks who will play on the right of midfield.

    With skipper Francis and vice-captain Andrew Surman both on the bench, Steve Cook - third in line for the armband - leads the side today.

    Leicester also have more of an attacking look to them compared to the side which faced Liverpool in their last game - with Jamie Vardy in for Marc Albrighton.
