Wilfred Ndidi and Bilal El Khannouss are both missing from the Leicester City squad for the final game of the season at Bournemouth. The duo, regular starters under Ruud van Nistelrooy this


term, miss out completely as three changes are made for Sunday’s clash at the Vitality Stadium. Coming into the side are Victor Kristiansen, Oliver Skipp, and Patson Daka, with Jamie Vardy


also replaced following his farewell match last weekend. It looks like a change in formation for City, with van Nistelrooy reverting to the back-five system he utilised for a few matches in


March and April. That would see Luke Thomas join Conor Coady and Wout Faes as the three centre-backs, with James Justin and Kristiansen as the wing-backs. Skipp joins Boubakary Soumare in


midfield, and then there’s a front three with Jordan Ayew and Kasey McAteer flanking Daka. With no El Khannouss, Ndidi, or Vardy in the squad, and with Woyo Coulibaly, Jannik Vestergaard,


Harry Winks, and Odsonne Edouard overlooked again, the bench includes plenty of youngsters. There’s not just Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans involved, but also Michael Golding, Sammy Braybrooke


and Bade Aluko. Braybrooke would be making his Premier League debut if he features, while Aluko would be making his senior debut. CITY (5-4-1): Stolarczyk; Justin, Faes, Coady, Thomas,


Kristiansen; McAteer, Soumare, Skipp, Ayew; Daka. SUBS: Iversen, Ricardo, Aluko, Okoli, Braybrooke, Golding, Buonanotte, Monga, Evans.
