On Sep 25th, Leicester City hosts Burnley in a meeting of these two mismatched Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Leicester City sits at 12th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Brighton & Hove Albion. Neal Maupay scored the first goal for Brighton & Hove Albion in the 35th minute from the penalty spot, then Danny Welbeck added another in the 50th minute on a feed from Leandro Trossard. Leicester City is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 19th placed Burnley, recorded a 0-1 loss against Arsenal. Martin Ødegaard struck first for Arsenal in the 30th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Burnley couldn’t muster any offence and Arsenal ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Leicester City won the head to head battle with 1 win.
James Tarkowski and Chris Wood are the top scorers for Burnley in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Jamie Vardy has been the most prolific scorer on Leicester City in the last 5 matches with two goals
Brendan Rodgers’s Leicester City squad will be without Ryan Bertrand, Ayoze Pérez, Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne, Nampalys Mendy, Wesley Fofana and James Justin, while Dale Stephens and Kevin Long are unavailable to play for Burnley.
