Burnley will aim to rise above the relegation zone when they play host to Leicester City on Wednesday in their next Premier League game at Turf Moor. Sean Dyche’s men will come into this game after playing out a 1-1 stalemate with Crystal Palace over the weekend and will look to steal a point here as well. On other hand, the Foxes recorded a 7-2 aggregate win over Rangers in their most recent game in the Europa Conference League.
The Premier League match between Burnley vs Leicester City is slated to begin at 1:15 am (IST).
