Leicester News and Form – Can Leicester keep home from going?
It was a 2-1 loss at Liverpool that Leciester took last time out, but they gave a superb account of themselves nonetheless. The Foxes have taken a win in four of their last six games (L2) and the two defeats in that sequence of form came out on the road at Man Utd and Liverpool. So it means that they are unbeaten on home soil in the league this season, winning three of their four played at the King Power.
They are on a three-match winning streak at home and Leicester scored at least two goals in each of those wins. It has been a total of 10 goals netted in their last three home fixtures in the top flight, which is an excellent return. Five of Leicester’s last six Premier League games have gone over 2.5 goals. Brendan Rodgers has a full squad available aside from Matty James.
Leicester have averaged 2.5 goals per home game this season, but their good scoring output hasn’t come at the expense of defence. They have only conceded two goals on home soil this season. They have been leading at half time in two of their four games on home soil as well (D1 L1). Leicester have scored 71% of their goals this season after the half time break.

Burnley News and Form – Can Burnley win away at Leicester?
The Clarets are carrying some good form of their own as they have taken a W2 D2 record in their last four. One thing missing from their season is an away win though. It has been a return of D3 L1 that Burnely have taken on their travels. Each of their last three away from Turf Moor have been drawn and two of those three draws were a 1-1 scoreline. The other draw in that sequence was a 2-2 tie against Aston Villa.
The Clarets are only two points behind fourth-placed Leicester, so they would be sitting in a wonderful position if they were to pick up a win. That would be pretty huge for them. It is a four-match scoring streak that Burnley are on in the league. Just once away from home this season have they been losing at half time.They have conceded the opening goal in three of their four games on the road though. The confidence is certainly there, can they avoid defeat at the King Power?
