Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Leicester City could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Bournemouth.

Leicester City head coach Steve Cooper will consider making a few alterations to his starting lineup for Saturday's Premier League clash against Bournemouth at the King Power Stadium.

Three players who are unavailable for selection are Patson Daka, Jakub Stolarczyk and Hamza Choudhury - the former two are nursing ankle injuries, while the latter is sidelined for 'a little while' with a dislocated shoulder. Jannik Vestergaard, meanwhile, has resumed training and could be named in the matchday squad.

Although Leicester conceded four goals in a 4-2 loss at Arsenal last weekend and are shipping an average of two goals per game this term, Cooper could stick with the same back four of James Justin - who scored twice against the Gunners - Wout Faes, Caleb Okoli and Victor Kristiansen.

Wilfred Ndidi and Harry Winks are both expected to continue in centre-midfield, but summer signing Oliver Skipp could make way if Cooper decides to include an additional attacker in his first XI.

Indeed, Bilal El Khannouss could be recalled to operate in a central attacking position in behind veteran striker Jamie Vardy, who has scored seven goals in 14 meetings with Bournemouth.

Abdul Fatawu scored the decisive goal for Leicester in a 1-0 FA Cup win after extra time against Bournemouth in February, and the 20-year-old winger will be hoping to force his way into the starting lineup ahead of Facundo Buonanotte, while Stephy Mavididi will likely continue on the left flank.

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Winks, Ndidi; Fatawu, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Vardy
