The Foxes should be full of themselves after their 3-0 win at Club Brugge in their Champions League on Wednesday and Claudio Ranieri’s boys can hit the ground running against Burnley, who lost 3-0 in their last league away game.

Leicester have scored a first-half goal in 11 of their last 16 home matches and they should be able to build on their customary fast start.

Recommendation
Leicester-Leicester double result
1pt 5-4 general

Team news
