After sustaining a shocking home loss to Southhampton during their last outing, Leicester will be looking to make a comeback with the Sunday premier league game. Whereas the foxes last two away matches ended in a glorious victory, the shocking defeat against Southhampton has dented their ego, leaving their confidence bruised. Burnley, on the other hand, has been through a lot this season battling with diverse premier league woes. One such grievance is the four stretch defeat that the team recently suffered in the competition. While we expect Sean Dyche to go all out in this game to secure a win for the Clarets, we fear that their traps won’t be enough to tame the ferocious foxes.

The Foxes have the best results of the two teams, and as such, they are the most preferred for victory come Sunday noon. Despite Burnley’s recent respite at Turf Moor, where they fought a hard-fought fight against Peterborough’s giants and won, they are still far away from the topflight of the premier league. This fact is driven home with the realization that their last time out against the Blues, Chelsea FC, ended in a nerve-wrenching defeat. Chelsea’s strength was no match for the Clarets’ ferociousness, and with everything put into consideration, it may not be enough against Leicester foxes.

Team Stats

Amongst the handful of teams battling with relegation this season, Burnley is one of the few teams looking to make a comeback to the limelight. Though their claim on the premier league title has been thwarted from the start, securing a win against the ferocious foxes will mean the Sean Dyche’s side still have a few tricks up its sleeves. In contrast, Dyche himself has confessed to being unprepared for Chelsea’s ferocious players during their last clash with the team. While we expect a much stronger Burnley in the Sunday afternoon match, we still have to question the Clarets’ preparedness for the forthcoming playoffs.

The Brendan Rodgers’ side, like most of the topflight teams in the premier league playoffs, has experienced doubt at some point. Though their claim on the premier league title is stronger than most, they are still a long way from the top.

So far, the foxes have secured 45 points for themselves on the premier league tables, and they’ll be keen on boosting that number to 48; to be level with the second-placed Manchester City.

What to expect

After losing three out of their last five premier leagues, it would seem like the Foxes are governed by the same dynamics ruling the underdogs of the league. Just like their current rivals, Burnley, Leicester, will be walking into the Turf Moor stadium with an eye out for victory. But they’ll do well not to expect an easy victory over their opposition come Sunday. Because Burnley will not give them that satisfaction.

All things considered, the Sunday afternoon clash between Burnley and Leicester will be a hard-fought fight. And as such, only the most deserving team will emerge winner at the end of the playoff.
