Leicester City vs. Burnley Match Analysis and Prediction

Two sides who picked up wins in the recent EFL Cup lock horns this weekend with Leicester City taking Burnley in the Premier League. The match schedules for Saturday afternoon at the King Power Stadium, with kickoff at 5 pm.

Leicester City comes off a 2-0 win over Millwall in the EFL Cup, while Burnley takes a 4-1 win over Rochdale on the same night.

Ademola Lookman will hope that his recent form is a sign of things to come as the 19-year old followed up an impressive opening goal against Millwall with two more in midweek. He scored before Kelechi Iheanacho’s clincher at The Den on Wednesday night.

After a confidence-boosting win over Millwall, Leicester City’s underwhelming Premier League performances are finally catching up with them. Manager Rodgers witnessed his side lose yet another game, this time by the unexpected score of 2-1 against Brighton & Hove Albion last week – already their third loss in the new campaign so far.

Jay Rodriguez scored a man-of-the-match performance with four goals, as Burnley routed Rochdale 4-1 at Turf Moor.

It’s no surprise to see Burnley flirting with danger, but their winless streak in the Premier League now stands at eight matches, and they’ve gone three games without a victory on home soil.

This means that if you’re an avid Blues fan looking towards next season, your fingers may already be crossed for them by this time.
