Leicester City's Brendan Rodgers will become the 23rd different manager to 100 wins in the competition if he triumphs on Sunday.

Burnley play their first match of the campaign and will hope for a first win at King Power Stadium in the Premier League.

Team news

Jamie Vardy is fit after appearing to fall awkwardly in the latter stages of last weekend's victory at West Bromwich Albion.

James Maddison (hip) and Wes Morgan (hamstring) are making good progress and continue to be monitored. Ricardo Pereira (ACL) remains at least one month away from a possible return.

Burnley will be without Johann Berg Gudmondsson (knee), but James Tarkowski (toe) could return to face the Foxes.

The progress of Ben Mee (thigh), Ashley Barnes (groin) and Jack Cork (ankle) continues to be monitored.

Did you know?

A win in his 210th match would make Brendan Rodgers the fourth-quickest British manager to reach 100 PL victories.

Since the start of last season, Jamie Vardy has scored more Premier League goals than any other player (25).

Burnley have won their first away match of the season in only one of their six previous Premier League campaigns, beating Chelsea 3-2 in 2017/18.

Chris Wood can score in a fourth consecutive Premier League match for the first time.
