The visiting Leicester City side should be favourites in this visit to Burnley, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only zero days ago. This match was also played here at Turf Moor. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Leicester City have had more rest.

A nice win for Burnley last time playing, versus Leicester City. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Ashley Westwood and Chris Wood scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Burnley lost 0-3 at Chelsea's place.
Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope did an outstanding job against Leicester City with 7 saves, so vital to securing the victory.
The Burnley fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches.
