Pick, we should go all out to beat these, even if it’s 5 - 3. I want us to go all out attack

[Kasey Keller]

A limp 1-1

[Ricey]

Bournemouth away on a Sunday night has all the hallmarks of a meltdown. Dreading it.

 

Assuming that Maddison and Chilwell are still out:

 

Schemichel

 

Justin   Evans  Soyuncu   Fuchs

 

Ndidi  Tielemans

 

Perez   Praet   Barnes

 

Vardy

 

Harsh on Iheanacho but I think we'll need width. Bournemouth will sit deep and attempt to frustrate us, so it's important we stretch them as much as possible and create space for our central midfielders.

[bmt]

I think we will smash these. I'd probably keep it similar to Arsenal with Chilwell on the left. If Maddison is fit I'd probably put him in for Perez. If 3 at the back isn't working we can change it at half time, but I think it's worth persevering to overcome the small mistakes we were making in the Arsenal game.

[Guest An Sionnach]

No coincidence that Tielemans plays better without Maddison its beginning to look like rotation to me.

[mod hero]

Scoring a goal early on would be nice, when was the last time we scored in the first 10 mins? Or the first half??

Some of Teilemans passing last night was so lazy and lacking in purpose/conviction. We've seen that he can be a top player but has been so average this season. Must do better. 

[daddylonglegs]

The worst bit about the timing of this game is we play the day before the city ruling is confirmed. 

[blurryface]

Yet to beat Bournemouth in the prem at their place. They wont be around much longer. Lets get one in on them before they go. I'm still miserable about my midweek december trip in 2016. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

They're in terrible form, the players they have aren't good enough to dig them out, they've binned off one of their best players and Eddie has run out of ideas. 

 

Absolutely criminal if we don't win this comfortably.

We also have two days extra rest.

 

If we don't win this we don't deserve Champions League.

I’m sure they’ll look to soak it up and hit us on the break. They would take a point I’m sure.

Probably lose this and then beat spurs and utd. The Leicester way.

Quite likely that they'll be at least 4 points adrift with 4 games to play by the time Sunday comes round, they have to go for it surely?

You’d like to think so pal but that doesn’t mean it’s a guaranteed win for us. They get an early goal and it’s backs against the wall.

They'll know that if they "go for it" then they'll most likely get hammered. But if they sit back and frustrate us like so many teams have done lately they have a good chance at then nicking a goal. Deep block vs Leicester works a treat and teams know this now! 

[Tuna]

Super header,Huth like. What a way to win the game!

They need wins and quickly, a point is not much use to them. We are probably one of their easiest games left given our patchy form. 

[Collymore]

What amazes me is the fitness off Vardy.

 

We've seen other players in the Premier league limping around, rotated and run into the ground already where as Vardy has played the full 90 minutes of each game including the cup!

 

What's even more amazing is that he looking sharper and sharper as the games go as if he's not even reached his fitness peak yet! I don't know another player like him. I can see him playing on at the highest level for years to come...

 

He's phenomenal!

Agree. He’ll play until he’s 35 at this level. 

[Ric Flair]

A week ago he was getting abused and written off on here, now I accept he was in horrible form but why do fans do it? If there's one player to just sit back and wait until they take bodies again it's Vardy. The man has consistently bounced back from poor spells and often gone on a scoring spree that makes a mockery of the drought he'd just been on.

 

Another 4 or 5 from him would be invaluable to us this season.

[Wymsey]

Are due a big win.

They seem weak mentally, and appear to crumble under pressure.

Just go for it, none of this backwards-passing football - please. It can frustrate the fans.

5-1.

Because many people cannot see beyond the end of their noses

Given the prize on offer, i don't think iv'e been more nervous for a Leicester/Bournemouth game in my life.
