Did you know?

Burnley, who have won their last two Premier League home matches against Leicester, have never won three in a row against an opponent at Turf Moor in the competition.

Ashley Barnes has netted in his last three PL home matches. He can now become the first player to score in four in a row at Turf Moor for Burnley in the competition.

Leicester’s Jamie Vardy has scored five goals in his last five PL matches, more than he had in his previous 16 appearances in the competition.

Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers has won four of his five league meetings with Burnley, triumphing with three different teams - Watford, Swansea City and Liverpool. The Clarets could become the first team that he beats with four different sides.
