LEICESTER City’s caretaker boss Adam Sadler believes Gary O’Neil has done a “really good job” at Cherries, adding: “You can really see a clear identity in how they play.”

Like O’Neil was when the two clubs last met back in October, Sadler is in charge on an interim basis, alongside fellow coach Mike Stowell, following the recent departure of Brendan Rodgers.

The pair lost their first game in charge, going down 2-1 to Aston Villa on Tuesday night.

That left Leicester still in the relegation zone, two points from safety with nine games to play. Cherries sit one place against the Foxes, in 18th.

“Bournemouth is a club in a similar situation to ourselves, in the relegation zone, a couple of points ahead of us,” said Sadler.

“I think Gary has done a really good job with that team.

“You can really see a clear identity in how they play. A side who play very much on the front foot.

“So we have to be ready. We know there’s a big challenge ahead come Saturday.

“We will get the players in the best possible place to be ready for that game. I think it potentially is a fantastic fixture.”
