Leicester City v Burnley: match preview

Leicester City v Burnley
Leicester City v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

The closest-looking game of the weekend with all three results eminently feasible, resurgent Leicester will expect to win it all the same after snuffing out the title ambitions of Spurs in midweek. Three places above them in sixth place, Burnley have had tougher away games already and apart from the loss at Manchester City have returned from the others with at least a point. Mark Tallentire
