Never mind 'Happy New Year', for these two clubs the old one could hardly have been happier. Leicester's challenge now is to maintain the standards shown throughout 2015 and that starts by making sure that any talk of a 'wobble' is stifled.

Everyone knows it won't be easy against a Bournemouth side that have started to get to grips with top flight football - rewards for putting in the hard yards.

Opta's 'halfway' stats show the Cherries cover more ground and record more sprints than any other Premier League side. Mix that with Leicester's non-stop energy and it could be a tough one to keep up with.

Thank goodness it's on the second of January rather than the first!
