Both managers have called for patience before a meeting between two of the league’s bottom four. Eddie Howe will be without Harry Arter and Tyrone Mings, but Callum Wilson has returned to training after a second serious knee injury. Like Howe, Craig Shakespeare can point to respectable performances in tricky fixtures so far, but Leicester will fall into the relegation zone with defeat on the south coast. Jamie Vardy is set to be available despite a hip problem, having scored three goals in six appearances against Bournemouth. Niall McVeigh
