Match Preview:

Before the international break Leicester played Liverpool, and with the game heading for a 1-1 result and Leicester about to break Liverpool’s 100% start to the season the Reds were awarded a penalty. Depending on who you ask, and what you see, some say stone wall penalty and others say that Sadio Mane made a meal of it, either way Liverpool won 2-1 in the final minute of injury time. Leicester were aggrieved and manager Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that the two week break means the harsh Liverpool result is out of the players system now and they can move on because they have had a tremendous start to the season.

The Foxes come into this game in 4^th place and they are still evidently in a great position. They have lost two of their last four games with defeats against Liverpool and Manchester United and whilst that could look predictable both games have been incredibly close affairs.

At home Leicester have the 2^nd best record in the league only second to Liverpool and have gained 10 points from a possible 12 including winning their last 3 games at King Power Stadium and scoring 10 goals in those three wins.

Burnley are one of the better form teams at the present time and have gone their last 4 matches undefeated. Their last game was a home 1-0 win over Everton and away from home they have drawn their last 3 games in a row. The only worry for Sean Dyche’s team is that they are yet to record a victory on the road this season.

Burnley are in 7^th place with 12 points and a win would see them leapfrog Rodgers team.
