Struggling Burnley will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Leicester City in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Burnley have the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in Premier League
  • Leicester City have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded away.

It's no vacation for neither Burnley nor Leicester City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Burnley form and stats

4-4-5 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Burnley so far this season. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Turf Moor, but a victory now would be sweet for Burnley.

Burnley haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 218 minutes ago. A. Barnes scored that one.

Burnley lost their last game at Tottenham Hotspur (placed 8th) after a 0-4 scoreline. Before that, Burnley drew at home versus West Bromwich Albion.

As you see from the result above, Burnley suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Burnley, as the Premier League home game vs Arsenal is only three days away.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Burnley here at Turf Moor in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (10 from 13 games). 14 goals have been conceded.

The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Liverpool game have they lost an away game, meaning Leicester City has taken points from eight away matches in a row.

Leicester failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Arsenal (placed 10th) that ended with defeat 1-3. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Slavia Praha.
