Claudio Ranieri gives Nigel Pearson his due for success

Put to him that it was “a tribute” to him and the set-up at Dean Court that a player like de Guzman could be entertaining signing, Howe replied: “We are not going to sign players and boast about the size of our stadium and our history because, looking at those things, that is not going to attract them”. I believe we can win there and I’m really positive about that’.

These two sides have met on nine previous occasions over the last half a century, with Leicester winning on six of those occasions, Bournemouth taking out the other three. They didn’t deserve to lose to Liverpool and Aston Villa.

The task will not be easy, however, with City being the surprise package of the season so far.

“They are very well organised and, looking at their opening games, they’ll be a tough nut to crack”, the Englishman added. Back in the top flight with Bournemouth, he’ll have something to prove to his former employers. Not only in the goals department, but Bournemouth was quick to offer a lot of pace and enthusiasm. It’s the same in the first team or academy, they all work together’.

Also in the race for the Demarai Gray’s signature was Premier League new-boys AFC Bournemouth. Speedy, persistent and with an eye for goal, there aren’t many sides that wouldn’t be cautious of the young Englishman at this point.

Cherries boss Howe bolstered his resources with the addition of no fewer than eight new signings ahead of the club’s first season in the Premier League.

Wilson’s delightful strike after 24 minutes came after Charlie Daniels was afforded too much space on the left-hand side.

Our top spot in the loser’s category goes to Manchester United.

According to the Daily Mail, representatives from Barcelona will sit down with Neymar before the end of 2015 to discuss a new five-year contract and increase his buyout clause to a staggering $280 million.

Spurs found themselves sitting at the 2 spot in our elite list of Loser’s in week 3 in Barclays Premier League.

Picking up a result against Leicester won’t be easy.

Ranieri has clearly studied the template which served Pearson so well in the closing months of last season.

Since breaking through at Coventry City two years ago, Wilson has looked destined to play at this level, scoring goals at an incredible rate and his pace striking fear into a host of opposition defences.
