BUR Vs LEI Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Two sides in dire need of a win go at loggerheads.
Leicester City’s top 4 ambitions were dealt a colossal blow at the weekend. While the 3-1 rout at the hands of Arsenal was a hard pill for the club to digest, what left the club in angst were the crucial points it missed out on.
The side was further rocked with an injury to Harvey Barnes with the club set to be devoid of the services of their in form player for today’s showdown. Paper thin up the park, the club will be well aware that it needs to dive deep into its repertoire of resources if its to pull off a win today.
However, things will be far from straightforward for the club with the team coming across a sturdy and plucky Burnley defensive unit.
BUR Vs LEI Fantasy Probable Winner
Bereft of a win in three matches, Burnley are once again gradually slipping towards the bottom three. The club will thrust everything it has into defence today, a modus operandi which should see the side pull off a draw.

Goal-Keeper
We begin our set of picks with the selection of Nick Pope from Burnley, a name who is spoken in the same breath as some of the finest shot stoppers in the league.
Defenders
He’s going to find company in CB James Tarkowski, a name who has punched above his weight to dispel attacking plays.
The visiting side on the other hand will see us opt for the services of an entire trio. Although the club hasn’t been at its best defensive, Burnley will hardly perturb them in their aspirations of pulling off an elusive shut down.
Wesley Fofana, Timothy Castagne and Ricardo Pereira are all inducted in our unit from the club.
Midfielders
Scorer of his side’s goal the last time around, Youri Tielemans showed why he’s become such a pivotal player for his side in such little time.
Wilfred Ndidi and his ability to close the ball sees him comprise the duo from the club. The hosts on the other hand will be represented by Ashley Westwood who has conjured the two assists for the club with Josh Brownhill slotting in alongside him.
Strikers
Burnley’s top scorer with the 4 goals in his kitty, Chris Wood completes the set of picks from the side. The visiting team’s leading scorer graces our land as well with us opting for Jamie Vardy.
Captain And Vice-Captain
The 12 goals and 5 assists for Jamie see him captain our side while Youri is the vice-captain.
