PREVIEW: Burnley v Leicester City

The Clarets return to Turf Moor on Sunday in search of their first Premier League win since Christmas.

A run of four successive defeats has trimmed Burnley’s advantage over the bottom three to three points.

The visit of third-placed Leicester presents another test for Sean Dyche’s men – despite a slight dip in form for the Foxes, whose record in the first half of the season was bettered only by run-away leaders Liverpool.

Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs were the only sides that had beaten Leicester before Christmas.

But the Clarets went as close as most to taking a point from the 2016 champions as a late equaliser, bundled into his own net by Jonny Evans, was controversially disallowed at the King Power Stadium in October as Leicester launched an eight-game winning run.
