ANDONI Iraola is determined to finish the Premier League season on a high and defeat Leicester – particularly as the Foxes beat the [Cherries](http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/cherries/clubnews/) earlier in the campaign.

Bournemouth lost the opportunity to qualify for Europe after they were beaten by Manchester City, but Iraola is keen to end the season on a high at home on Sunday.

Earlier in the season, the Cherries were beaten 1-0 by their hosts at the King Power Stadium, Leicester frustrating Bournemouth after taking a first half lead from Facundo Buonanotte.

Asked how important it was to dust themselves off after that defeat at the Etihad, Iraola was emphatic – he wants to bounce back with a victory.

“I want to win the last game at home in front of our supporters,” he told the Daily Echo.

“Also we lost against Leicester first round so it's a game that I really want to win. We will recover and take it very seriously because also we want to finish in the top 10.

“And it would mean, I think, a good feeling, good ending of this season that has been good for us.”
