There is one match to be played in the English Premier League this week as Burnley welcome Leicester City to Turf Moor. The hosts begin the week in 18th place on 21 points while the visitors are in 13th place on 27 points.
Burnley come into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on the weekend. The Eagles opened the scoring after only 9 minutes but Burnley struck back early in the second half thanks to an own goal to take a share of the points.
That result means Burnley are undefeated in their 3 most recent games and have lost only one of their last 7 matches, all of which have come in the Premier League.
There have been wins away from home against Brighton and at home against Tottenham Hotspur. Burnley have also picked up a point against Watford and Manchester United at home plus Arsenal away.
Home form in the Premier League shows Burnley are undefeated in 7 of their last 8 league fixtures. In fact, they have lost only 2 of their last 10 at Turf Moor in the Premier League. However, 5 of the 7 undefeated matches have ended in a draw.
Trends show Burnley have seen under 2.5 goals in 5 of their latest home games in the Premier League.
Leicester City make the trip to Turf Moor having not played in the Premier League on the weekend. Their most recent fixture came in the Europa Conference League last Thursday and The Foxes beat Randers 3-1 away from home to progress in the competition.
However, Leicester City have been struggling in the Premier League and they have failed to win any of their last 5 league matches. They have recorded only 2 wins from their last 10 Premier League fixtures and have lost each of their last 4 away league games.
The defeats have come at Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
You must go back to the 21st of October to find the last time Leicester City won an away match in the Premier League.
Trends show Leicester City have conceded 2 more goals in each of their last 5 away league matches but have scored themselves in 17 of their last 18 on the road.
Team news and Burnley are without the injured duo of Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Matej Vydra. They also have doubts over the fitness of Maxwel Cornet and Charlie Taylor.
Leicester City travel without James Justin, Timothy Castagne, Ryan Bertrand, and Jonny Evans due to injury. There are doubts over the fitness of Jamie Vardy and Wesley Fofana.
Both teams need the points as they look at the bottom of the table but Burnley are in desperate need of a win to lift themselves out of the relegation zone. Burnley have been tough to beat at home in the league but winning games has been a problem. We expect this one to end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
