Leicester City vs Burnley Premier League Match Preview or Key Statistics 🐺
🐺Leicester are unbeaten in nine home league games against Burnley (W5 D4), including all five of their games against them at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League (W3 D2).
🐺Burnley are looking to earn back-to-back league wins over Leicester for the first time since August 2006 when they won three in a row, and the first time in the top-flight since December 1968 (also three in a row).
🐺The away side opened the scoring in both Premier League meetings between Leicester and Burnley last season.
🐺However, the home side came back to win 2-1 on each occasion. Leicester have lost their opening home game in just one of their last 13 Premier League campaigns (W7 D5), going down 0-5 against Bolton in 2001-02.
🐺Leicester have only won both of their first two games to a Premier League campaign twice before -in 1997-98 and most recently in their title winning season of 2015-16.
🐺Burnley have won their opening league game in two of the last three seasons (D1 ), as many as they had in their previous nine league campaigns (W2 D3 L4).
🐺Burnley lost just one of their last eight Premier League away games in 2019-20 (W5 D2), going down 0-5 at Manchester City.
🐺However, the Clarets have won their first away game in just one of their six previous Premier League campaigns, beating Chelsea 3-2 in 2017-18.
🐺Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has won 99 of his 209 Premier League matches in charge (D51 L59). Victory here will see him become the 23rd different manager to 100 wins in the competition, while he'd be the fourth quickest British manager to reach the milestone, after Alex Ferguson (162 games), Kenny Dalglish (197) and Kevin Keegan (209).
🐺Since the start of last season, Leicester's Jamie Vardy has scored more Premier League goals than any other player (25), scoring twice from the spot on MD1.
🐺He's also got the best shot conversion rate in the competition in that time (min 10 goals), netting with 27.5% of his shots (25/91 ).
