James Maddison

James Maddison returned from an injury during the second half at West Brom.

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said: “James [Maddison] and Wes [Morgan] have been training with the squad all week. It’s another week further on for them, so that’s great news. Ricardo [Pereira’s] still a period away. You’re looking to the end of October for him, but he’s made great strides. He’s been working tirelessly in the gym, but he’s still quite a while away from playing.”

Burnley manager Sean Dyche said: “It’s better than we thought it could have been (concerning Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson). I’ve seen the incident back with the twist on his knee and obviously we were very concerned, as was he. It’s calmed down overnight a little bit and we’ve had a scan and it’s slightly better than we thought, so that’s good news. There are no timescales yet but hopefully it should settle down sooner rather than later. He’s got lucky, I think.”

Jamie Vardy

jamie Vardy cups his ears in celebration after scoring Leicester's equaliser last year.

Jamie Vardy and Youri Tielemans got the goals as City came from a goal down to seal a 2-1 victory over Burnley at King Power Stadium last time out on Saturday 19 October, 2019.

Chris Wood put the Clarets ahead against his former club in the first half, but the Foxes responded to seal a big win on the day they marked the one-year anniversary of beloved late Chairman Khun Vichai's passing.

Burnley thought they had equalised through Wood eight minutes from the end but his effort was ruled out by VAR after a trip on Jonny Evans was spotted in the build-up.
