Burnley vs. Leicester City

Rodgers will want to make it two on the bounce after losing his first game as a Fox, but it won’t come easy with Burnley sweating a relegation seat if they don’t come up with three points. The Foxes had a similar test when they put three past Fulham with ease in last weekend’s matchup and had total domination besides the goal conceded.

Could have a bit of a lift for the Clarets in goal and in defence after Tom Heaton and James Tarkowski made the England squad. The defensive pair will have to be on point against a fluent Leicester attack. Burnley will be hoping Turf Moor brings them luck after going three games without a win since their Spurs success.

The home side sits two points above Cardiff City and with a positive result can stretch their gap to five points, safe for another week from being in a relegation slot. The visitors can close the gap on Wolves while overtaking West Ham and Watford in their late push for European football.

The two saw a stalemate in their last runout together in the Premier League. Both need a win in this one, with Burnley having more to play for.
