Howe's About That

Bournemouth are missing out on the headlines they deserve because of Leicester's heroics.

It would be a disaster for Spurs to drop points, and many would be ready to hand Leicester the title, but Bournemouth deserve to be backed at 8/5 (Bet365) in the +1 handicap market.

Had the season begun on 1 December, the Cherries would currently be joining Tottenham, Leicester and West Ham in the top four. Officially proof that the world’s gone mad!

Eddie Howe’s boys won at Stamford Bridge then at home to Manchester United to show how they are no longer overawed by the big boys. More recently, they have recorded three consecutive victories, scoring eight times in the process, to all but assure top flight status for another year.

The pressure in on the hosts and the Lilywhites haven’t been at their most fluent best in March. The difficulty of following another Leicester win could prove telling.
