Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Leicester City Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up:  4-2-3-1

Leicester have faltered in their last two games and need to arrest their slide in form before it becomes a major problem. They are five points ahead of fifth-placed Chelsea and, with Burnley having lost at the weekend too, this is a chance for the third-placed Foxes to bounce back to winning ways.
Only bottom-of-the-league Sheffield United have scored fewer goals than Burnley (18) this season.

After their surprise defeat at the weekend, Leicester City will bid to bounce straight back when they travel to face 15th-placed Burnley. The Clarets also lost at the weekend and this fixture, at Turf Moor, takes place on March 3 and the live action kicks off at 18:00 local time.
