EPL: Burnley v Leicester preview


Burnley v Leicester preview

Burnley can take a big step towards qualifying for next season's Europa League when they host Leicester on Saturday.


Having won their last four games in a row, the seventh-placed Clarets are six points ahead of the Foxes with six games left to play.

Seventh place in the Premier League will be enough for a European spot, provided Southampton do not win the FA Cup.

"It's been a while since Burnley have been in European football so it would be great for us to get back there," said defender Matt Lowton.

"It's what you want to do as a young footballer. You want to play in the Premier League and you want to play in European football."

After a mid-season dip, Burnley have recovered impressively in recent weeks as they have won four games in a row, three of which were away from home.

They now face Leicester and Chelsea at Turf Moor over the next week, with the Foxes having lost to Newcastle last time out.

Leicester did win the reverse fixture 1-0 in December thanks to an early goal from Demarai Gray.

Burnley will be without defender Ben Mee (shin), who Sean Dyche says could miss the rest of the season.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson could return after six weeks out with a calf injury but Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Scott Arfield are both doubts.

Vicente Iborra is out for Leicester due to a hamstring injury.
