Preview
Leicester eye a return to winning ways in the EPL this season. After their previous win came almost a month ago.
The Foxes have not won a single match in this month until their mid-week win against Millwall in the EFL Cup.
They lost their last match in the Premier League against Brighton 2-1 where Maupay and Welbeck’s strikes proved to be the difference even though Vardy scored for Leicester.
Leicester is 12th in the league table with 6 points from 5 matches and need to turn things around quickly.
On the other hand, Burnley’s season has begun in poor fashion as they are placed 19th in the league table with 1 point from 5 matches.
Winless and lacklustre, Dyche’s side are in a serious hole with lots of improvement required.
A win is the need of the hour for the Clarets as the pressure on the team, who need the confidence.
