Leicester v Burnley: match preview

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

Brendan Rodgers’ big decision is whether to start James Maddison, who returned from injury as a substitute in last weekend’s win at West Brom. Owing to other absences Leicester are likely to have to continue using Wilfred Ndidi in central defence – he coped fine at the Hawthorns but this Sunday he will face Chris Wood, who scored twice against Leicester last season, and who represents an altogether different challenge for a midfielder playing out of position.
