Team news

Burnley
Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are sidelined for the Clarets. Erik Pieters is a doubt so Charlie Taylor should start at left-back.

Leicester
James Justin and Jamie Vardy may return to the squad after injuries but Ryan Bertrand, Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne and Wesley Fofana are still out.

Match preview

Having won just one of their first 21 Premier League games this season, Burnley beat Brighton 3-0 and Tottenham 1-0 in the space of four days and they will be targeting another three points at home to Leicester.

The Clarets picked up a valuable point in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace, taking them to within one point of safety, and they have conceded only three goals in their last seven league matches.

Leicester's defensive record, in contrast, is dismal and should encourage Burnley in their bid to climb out of the relegation zone. The Foxes have kept just one clean sheet in 18 away fixtures in all competitions this season and have been particularly vulnerable when defending set pieces.

Burnley centre-back Ben Mee scored the winner against Spurs in their last home game with one of his four attempts on goal and he looks a big price to get on the scoresheet against lacklustre Leicester.

Key stat

Leicester have conceded 40 goals in 18 away matches in all competitions this season.
