Eddie Howe believes AFC Bournemouth will face a Leicester City side brimming with confidence on Tuesday evening in the aftermath of their 4-2 defeat of Manchester City.
"Leicester looked to have regained their swagger in their game on Saturday," Howe told afcb.co.uk of last season's Premier League champions.
"The goals they have scored recently have been of the highest quality, but we must also focus on our own game."

The Cherries will be without Andrew Surman (thigh) and Junior Stanislas (foot) and although Danny Simpson is suspended for the Foxes, Claudio Ranieri could welcome Kasper Schmeichel back from a broken hand.
"A big battle. With these warriors I am very confident."
