    Leicester 1-0 Bournemouth

    That goal is Wes Morgan's second in as many games.

    He scored the winner in the Foxes' last game against Burnley.

    He has only played in these matches because Harry Maguire was sent off!

    Wes Morgan

    Cheeky from Wes Morgan! Did he mean this?! His face suggests he might not have known much about it.

    James Maddison pings a deep corner to the far side of the box.

    Ben Chilwell takes the ball down and shoots through a crowd of bodies and, with his back to goal, Morgan flicks the ball with the inside of his heel and it goes in off the post.

    Yours Brendan!

    ... poor touch.

    The ball drifts out of play towards the Leicester manager's technical area and he tries to bring it down with his instep but ends up passing the ball to Eddie Howe.

    I assume that wasn't deliberate. He gives a sarcastic wave to the fans behind in the stands.

    More good play from Leicester. This is a really nice move involving Pereira, Tielemans and Vardy. Tielemans stretches to put a cross into the box but it is cut out.

    It's Leicester on the front foot early on. Ben Chilwell marauds forward and wins a corner. The delivery isn't too bad but it's well cleared.

    Ricardo Pereira then wastefully punts the ball out of play.

    It's all smiles between Howe and Rodgers on the touchline as they shake hands.

    Will it stay that way today between the two good friends?

    Eddie Howe says he's not surprised at the positive impact his good friend Brendan Rodgers has had since coming in at Leicester. Rodgers has guided the Foxes to within three points of seventh place and potential Europa League qualification, while also delivering a more enjoyable style of play for the fans.

    Despite the fact a win would move Bournemouth level with Leicester, Howe insists his side are not safe from relegation just yet, with their away form a cause for concern - it was nine straight league defeats on the road before the win at rock bottom Huddersfield.

    Famous last words but, given how both managers like to play, this should be a good watch.

    It promises to be an emotional day at the King Power. An image of Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has already been shown on the big screen along with the words 'Always in our hearts'.

    Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha, the late owner's son, is at the game today.

    He just joined the fans in giving a large round of applause. It looked as though there was a tear in his eye.

    A mid-table clash if ever there was one but perhaps extra motivation for Leicester? It’s their beloved late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s birthday. All home supporters will receive a free beer or water and a cupcake in honour of the occasion.

    Table

    Things are looking up for Leicester City. They won back-to-back games before the international break under new manager Brendan Rodgers.

    Today they face a Bournemouth side who are only two places below them in the table.

    That said, Cherries boss Eddie Howe says his side still aren't safe from relegation even though they're 12th in the table and 10 points clear of the drop.

    Leicester can go seventh with a win.
