Bournemouth will conclude the 2024-25 Premier League season with an encounter against already-relegated Leicester City.
While the Cherries suffered a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City on Tuesday night, the Foxes beat fellow bottom-three outfit Ipswich Town 2-0 last weekend, and here, Sports Mole provides all the details on how to tune into the event.
What time does Bournemouth vs. Leicester kick off?
Bournemouth and Leicester will do battle at 4pm UK time on Sunday afternoon, as will all of the other nine Premier League fixtures on the final day of the season.
While the Cherries have only won two of their last 12 Premier League matches (D4 L6), the Foxes have accumulated seven points during a three-game unbeaten run.
Where is Bournemouth vs. Leicester being played?
The Vitality Stadium, which has the smallest capacity of any current Premier League team (11,307), will be the venue for Bournemouth’s final-day clash with Leicester.
The last time these two teams squared off at the Vitality Stadium was in February 2024 when the Foxes secured a narrow 1-0 victory in the fifth round of the FA Cup, courtesy of an extra-time strike from Abdul Fatawu.
