Leicester City missed the chance to rise up to second place on the Premier League table with a loss to Liverpool in their last match. They will hope to make amends for this when they host Burnley at King Power Stadium this Saturday. The loss saw Leicester drop to fourth on the standings with 14 points. They will be facing a much improved Burnley side, whose four – game unbeaten run has seen them rise to seventh with 12 points. The loss to Liverpool ended a three – game winning run. They will be glad to get back to playing at home, where they are unbeaten in the four league matches they have played there this season. Leicester have lost just two of their 10 matches so far this season and this has been to much superior opponents – Liverpool and Manchester United. They have failed to score in just two matches. At home, they have three straight wins in the Premier League, and in these three they have scored two goals or more. They beat Newcastle United 5 – 0 in their last match at home and have scored 10 goals while conceding two in the four home league matches this season. Leicester are unbeaten in the last two matches against Burnley but in the last five meetings it has been a balanced affair. Both sides have managed two wins in the most recent five meetings.

Burnley go to this game unbeaten in four matches. They have earned eight points from this run, which has seen them rise from a bad start to the campaign. The biggest issue they will have to address is their away record. This season, they have no away win, though they have not lost in the last three. They lost at Arsenal earlier in the season and have gone on to draw the successive three away league matches. With just four wins in 25 away Premier League matches, they have reason to be really concerned. They have no clean sheet in the last 10 away league matches but they have scored in each of the last four. Burnley have not won any of their last eight visits to King Power, dating back to days in the Championship. Their last win at Leicester came way back in 2007.
