The final Premier League match is finally upon us. And in some ways, it is a relief for us LCFC supporters to be put out of our collective misery following a draining 2024/25 campaign. Tomorrow, Sunday, City face Bournemouth at their Vitality Stadium. Of course, famed Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy will not be among the Foxes starters or substitutes. Leicester must now navigate their way through life without the former England man.
For some strange reason, Vards decided not to feature on the south coast. He possibly wanted to bow out in front of his King Power Stadium crowd. Maybe it was that his prospective new club required him early or something along those lines. Regardless, we are looking at injury news and predicting the rest of the Leicester XI for the Cherries game. Along with wondering which Fox will likely replace Vardy up front. So how will the East Midlands probably outfit line up versus Andoni Iraola's men?

Predicted Leicester City lineup for Bournemouth clash - which Fox comes in for legendary Jamie Vardy?
According to Leicester Mercury, thoroughly disappointing Zambian centre forward Patson Daka will succeed Vardy for now at least. Even though this is an inconsequential EPL finale, the majority of the Blue Army fan base will not approve of Daka getting the nod.
It can no longer be said that Daka hasn't had his chance in the Premier League. He was almost totally impotent as an attacker this season. And that lack of impact really hurt City's cause just as much as certain underperforming unnamed defenders.
Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy admires Daka. The former previously tried to sign the 26-year-old at PSV Eindhoven. Luckily they should both be gone soon. Our expected team is below:
Stolarczyk; Thomas, Coady, Faes, Justin; Ndidi, Soumare; Ayew, El Khannouss, McAteer; Daka.
