LCFC vs BURNLEY THREAD

[Bluefoxtim]

Burnley manager Steve Cotterill and two of his players return to Leicester having been at the club last season, and The Clarets will be looking for a repeat of a good midweek display against Wigan.

Leicester are currently in mid-table, a point clear of Burnley, having beaten Sheffield United in midweek.

However, former coach Cotterill has made Burnley a tough defensive unit as their 0-0 draw at high-flying Wigan showed.

Burnley will be without Lee Roche, who limped out of the 0-0 midweek draw against Wigan.

Micah Hyde is still suspended after his dismissal against Gillingham - and will serve the last game of his ban.

New signing Amadou Sanokho will be in the squad if the club can secure international clearance for the French star.

Leicester have been buoyed by the return to training of skipper Matt Elliot and defender Matt Heath and both could feature.

Kevin Harper is ruled out, as is Ian Walker, meaning Kevin Pressman will continue in goal.

Yep all out defensive tactics by Burnley today. I don't blame them though, they obviously don't have the quality to shred through teams and if they tried attacking would probably be beaten. We've seen Leicester do it to other teams in the Prem (more so under O'Neill) and fair play to them, they deserved the point. Woeful performance again by City and Adams in particular. Dublin is useless up front and bringing Blake on for Connolly was the substitution from hell. Oh, and MArtin Keown is NOT a bloody playmaker - he can hardly make 10-yard passes, nevermind 50 yard crossfield balls.
