Saturday sees the return of the Premier League after the international break and the next preview features a clash between Leicester City and Burnley at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City Prediction – Can Leicester hold onto top four spot?
For Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers, it was the worst way to head into the international break as his Leicester City side were dealt a 2-1 defeat away at Anfield against his former club, Liverpool, but they now return to the King Power Stadium for this upcoming clash against Burnley, no doubt keen to make amends.
Prior to that loss at Anfield, Leicester had registered back-to-back wins at home against Tottenham 2-1 and a 5-0 rout of Newcastle United, so the Foxes will be confident that they can bounce back with a win on home turf this Saturday.
Indeed, Leicester City still remain unbeaten at home in the Premier League so far this season with a solid and impressive record which stands at 3-1-0 10/2 and includes wins against Bournemouth, Tottenham and Newcastle as well as 2 clean sheets.
The hosts have also suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 10 matches at home, so they look well placed to grab the points against Burnley on Saturday afternoon, with Vardy (5 goals) getting amongst the goals early this season.
Burnley Prediction – Can Burnley extend unbeaten run?
Having put together a promising 4-match unbeaten run in the Premier League prior to the international break, Burnley and manager, Sean Dyche, will be quietly confident that they can walk away from the King Power Stadium with something in their back pockets.
Recent wins against Norwich City 2-0 and Everton 1-0, both at Turf Moor, along with points picked up in draws with Brighton and Aston Villa have helped lift Burnley into the top half of the Premier League and they currently sit in 7th place ahead of this weekend’s top flight action.
However, all 3 of Burnley’s wins to date in the Premier League have all been registered on home turf at Turf Moor and although they’ve suffered just 1 defeat out of their first 4 away matches of this new campaign, The Clarets have yet to gain a win on the road this season.
An away record of 0-3-1 5/6 includes a 2-1 defeat at Arsenal and draws at Wolves, Brighton and Aston Villa, but the fact remains that Dyche’s men have registered just 3 away wins out of their last 19 matches on their travels in the top flight.
Key-Facts – Leicester City v Burnley
- Leicester City still remain unbeaten at home in this season’s Premier League
- Leicester City have lost just 1 of their last 10 matches at home in the EPL
- Burnley have won just 3 out of their last 19 away matches in the EPL
Betting Tips Verdict
Leicester City with home advantage should have too much quality in the final third over Burnley here.
