It is a measure of how tight things are in the mid-to-lower reaches of the Premier League that Bournemouth, who are still not clear of relegation trouble, will move to within a point of eighth-placed Leicester if they win at the King Power Stadium. Leicester have had a little wobble of late, picking up only two points from a possible 12, but Claude Puel’s side should be boosted by the return of Shinji Okazaki, who is available again after being sidelined with a knee injury.
