Burnley v Leicester City: match preview

Three successive victories have lifted Leicester City off the foot of the table and they will look to continue that run against Burnley, the side who now find themselves propping up the rest of the league. It promises to be a tumultuous affair at Turf Moor. Leicester are in form, while Burnley will fight until the end. However Burnley have problems in attack, with Ashley Barnes suspended and Danny Ings goalless in his past eight matches. Jacob Steinberg
