Preview Leicester City Premier League, Sep 25, 2021
Preview Leicester City defeated Millwall, 2-0 in Wednesday’s EFL Cup fixture. Last weekend, the Foxes lost to Brighton & Hove Albion, 2-1 at the Falmer Stadium. Neal Maupay (35’ P.) put the Seagulls in the lead from the penalty spot ten minutes before the interval after the VAR spotted a handball by Vestergaard. Five minutes after the break, Danny Welbeck (50’) doubled the lead for Albion with a towering header. But a minute after the hour mark, Jamie Vardy (61’) cut Leicester's goal-deficit down to one after finishing off a well-worked team effort in the final-third. However, the Foxes failed to find the leveler. It became the third defeat for the blue-wearing side in five games: WLWLL, leaving the club in 12th place, having picked up 6 points after 2W, 0D, & 3L. A victory over Burnley would leave Leicester City in the top-ten considering other favorable results emerge on Matchday 6. The club has won their last six games against bottom-three teams by an aggregate score of 15-2. On goals, Leicester City has an average of 1 goal per game, having scored 5 goals in as many Premier League appearances. The club has also conceded 8 goals (1.6 g.c.p.g), and has a G.D of -3. A 4—1—4—1 formation may be seen from Brendan Rodgers against Burnley on Matchday 6, with Vardy in attack. James Justin is ruled out with a knee injury, while Nampalys Mendy picked up a groin injury.
Preview Burnley Premier League, Sep 25, 2021
Preview Burnley remains in 19th place on the Premier League table, with only one point after 0W, 1D, & 4L. The Clarets picked up a 4-1 win in Tuesday’s EFL Cup third-round fixture against Rochdale on home soil. However, they failed to pick up a point last weekend, when they faced Arsenal and lost by a solitary goal at Turf Moor. Burnley are yet to find a win this season: LLDLL, and Sean Dyche will be under plenty of pressure when he takes his place in the dugout on Saturday, having recently signed a four-year contract extension before the game against Arsenal. The club has only 3 goals (0.6 g.s.p.g) in five Premier League games but conceded nine times (an average of 1.8 goals-conceded-per-match) and has a G.D. of -6. Dyche could utilize the 4—4—2 formation against Leicester City with Chris Wood and Barnes in attack. Wood has bagged four league goals against his former club, Leicester City, his third highest against a single side after West Ham United (seven) and Wolves (five).
