Leicester have won just two of their 12 Premier League games against Bournemouth (D5 L5), with both of those victories coming at the King Power Stadium in 2019 (2-0 in March, 3-1 in August).

Bournemouth have won each of their last three Premier League games against Leicester, their joint-longest winning run against the Foxes in their league history (also three between 1987 and 1989).

Leicester are winless in their six Premier League games so far this season (D3 L3), only having a longer winless run from the start of a campaign in the competition in 2022-23 (7).

Leicester have both scored and conceded in each of their six Premier League games so far this season (D3 L3). The only team to have a longer run of both scoring and conceding but remaining winless from the start of a Premier League campaign is Derby County in 2000-01 (first 8).

Since winning four consecutive away league games in November/December last season, Bournemouth have won just three of their last 13 on the road (D3 L7), with two of those wins coming against sides in the relegation zone.

Bournemouth haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last nine Premier League games, their longest run (exclusively) under Andoni Iraola. They last had a longer run of conceding in the division between December and July in 2019-20 (16).

Leicester have faced more shots than any other side in the Premier League this season (114), with their 34 faced against Arsenal last time out their most on record (since 2003-04) in a single match in the competition.

Leicester manager Steve Cooper has never beaten Bournemouth in five attempts in all competitions (D2 L3). It’s the joint-most he’s ever faced an opponent as a manager without ever winning (also 5 vs Manchester United).

Only Bukayo Saka (5) has more Premier League assists than Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi (4) this season. Ndidi’s four assists is just one fewer than he managed in 32 Championship appearances last term, while it’s already his joint-best in a single Premier League campaign (also 4 in 2020-21).

Only Erling Haaland (31) has had more shots than Antoine Semenyo (28) in the Premier League this season, with Semenyo the only Bournemouth player to score more than once so far (3). The Ghanaian has also completed the most dribbles (8) and had the most touches in the opposition box (34) of any Cherries player in the competition this term.
