As for the visitors, after being hit with what was a shock 2-1 loss at home against Southampton last weekend and watching Manchester City leapfrog them to second spot, many around the King Power are starting to fear that their side could be showing some signs of fatigue. Also having to come from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw off of relegation scrappers Aston Villa in their EFL Cup semi-final first-leg last week, Brendan Rodgers men have won just three of their last nine matchups across all competitions within 90 minutes. However, still firmly on course to secure a Champions League return this season, the former Celtic boss has seen his side continue to save their best performances for away from the King Power. Including picking up a thumping 3-0 win away at St. James Park on New Year s Day, the Foxes have won six of their last seven Premier League matches on the road, a run that has seen them score at least a pair of strikes in all of those victories.
Team News
Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi remains out with a knee problem.
The Foxes will monitor defender Wes Morgan, who has been absent for the last two matches because of a groin injury.
Key Factors to Consider
Including a 2-1 defeat back in October, Burnley have lost back-to-back matches against the Foxes.
However, Leicester have won just three of their last nine matches within 90 minutes.
Burnley have lost their last four Premier League matches on the bounce, their worst run since March 2019.
The Clarets have also lost four of their last five Premier League matches at Turf Moor.
Leicester have won eight of their last nine matches away from the King Power.
Conclusion
While Leicester might still be struggling with some recent issues, there is no doubt that the Foxes should see this weekend as a golden opportunity to bounce back. Given the Foxes recent performances away from the King Power and also landing back-to-back victories over Burnley, including a 2-1 victory in their previous trip to Lancashire, we re backing the Foxes to come away with maximum points on Sunday afternoon.
