Sports Mole previews the Championship fixture between Burnley and Leicester City.

Leicester City can close the gap on their promotion rivals with a victory away to Burnley on Saturday.

A goalless draw against Hull City stalled Nigel Pearson's side progress on Boxing Day while Burnley eased past Derby County on the same afternoon.

Leicester have no fresh injury concerns but Pearson is expected to rotate his squad as the Foxes attempt to negotiate a hectic fixture schedule.

Following the victory over Derby, Sean Dyche may name an unchanged team for the clash at Turf Moor.
