Burnley will be keen to bounce back from their injury time heartbreak at the hands of Arsenal as they travel to Leicester. The Clarets conceded a controversial penalty to lose the game to the Gunners but they still go into the game in 7th position in the Premier League table. Leicester have lacked consistency this term and they will be eager to give their home fans a win.

Leicester City
BurnleyClaude Puel has over seen a minor improvement since taking over at the King Power Stadium a month ago but their inability to kill off games is costing them points. The Foxes are currently 12th in the Premier League table with 14 points to their name after 13 games following a 1-1 draw with West Ham. Jamie Vardy is the principal attacking threat for Leicester and the England man will be desperate to add to his tally of 6 goals for the campaign.
Burnley
The Clarets have had a sensational opening third of the season and find themselves in 7th place in the Premier League table with 22 points from their 13 games played. Sean Dyche’s men have only lost once on the road this term – to Manchester City and are notoriously difficult to beat. Chris Wood has suffered with injury problems in recent weeks but has notched 4 goals already since his summer move from Leeds United.
Head to Head
Burnley hold the head to head advantage over the Foxes with 44 registered wins in comparison to Leicester’s 34 with another 30 games ending as draws. Burnley won the last fixture between the sides with a 1-0 triumph at Turf Moor in January whilst Leicester comfortably won the equivalent fixture last term 3-0 with goals from Islam Slimani (x2) and a Ben Mee own goal.
