Leicester v Burnley: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Guardian

It will be an emotional day at what is Leicester’s last home game before the first anniversary of the helicopter crash at the stadium that claimed the lives of five people, including the club’s chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. While paying their respect, Burnley will aim to frustrate Leicester, testing their creativity and patience. While trying to work openings, Leicester will also have to be wary of counterattacks, because Sean Dyche’s side have scored in every away gamethis season, losing only once in four on the road.
