What's the injury news?

On Harvey Barnes (knee), Brendan Rodgers told the media on Monday: "We’re hopeful that he’ll be going in for surgery tomorrow. Part of the patellar is separated in the knee, that’s come away, so it’s just a repair job there and hopefully he can be back in six weeks.

"It is much better news that what we thought it could have been, especially after JJ’s (James Justin) injury, so that’s where we’re at with him."

Jonny Evans (calf), on the other hand, was set to have a scan on Monday: "Jonny’s from the old school, he’ll play through anything and everything to help out his team.

"It’s been an issue for a few weeks and, early in the game yesterday, it was aggravating it up to a point where, later on, he couldn’t continue. We’ll get a scan done on that today and see where he’s at."

What happened last time?

Despite Harvey Barnes' first-half opener, the Foxes fell to defeat on 19 January, 2020 as goals from Chris Wood and Ashley Westwood sealed a 2-1 victory for Burnley at Turf Moor, in a game which also saw Jamie Vardy denied from the penalty spot.

Earlier this season, however, the Foxes ran out as 4-2 victors at King Power Stadium, with Barnes, James Justin and Dennis Praet among the goals.

When can I catch match highlights?

A two-minute highlights package will be available for supporters to access on LCFC TV approximately two hours after full-time, which is available for free to Digital Members on the Club's official website (free sign-up).

A full highlights video will be published on LCFC.com at midnight following the fixture and Leicester City's official social media channels will post short clips from the day's action.

Please note that in the interests of safety, Leicester City’s fixtures will continue to be played behind closed doors. To ensure matches can still go ahead and to help control the spread of COVID-19, the Football Club kindly asks its supporters to continue to follow their team from home and not to gather at any stadia.

All times GMT unless stated otherwise.
