90'+3'

That is all from me, until next time!

90'+3'

Leicester make it two wins in two and will travel to Manchester City next but not before an EFL Cup fixture against Arsenal. For Dyche's side, who are struggling with injuries, their next Premier League fixture is at home to Southampton as they look to earn their first win of the new campaign.

90'+3'

Rodgers' side run out deserved 4-2 winners after a dominating performance against the Clarets, however, it wasn't all as simple as the scoreline suggests. Wood initially gave the visitors the lead, before goals from Barnes, Justin and an own goal from Pieters, put Leicester in front. Dunne, on debut, seemed to have brought Burnley back in to the game with a header from close range until Praet sealed the three points, with a remarkable finish from outside of the area.

90'+3'

FULL-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 4-2 BURNLEY

90'+3'

Albrighton fires a low cross in to the area and it is deflected away by a Claret shirt for another corner.

90'+1'

Morgan comes on in place of Barnes, who has dominated this fixture at the King Power Stadium.

90'+1'

Bardsley, making his 300th Premier League appearance, is booked for dissent after disagreeing with Mason’s decision.

90'

There will be three minutes of added time as the game head towards its conclusion.

88'

Vydra looks like he has broken through the Leicester defence for a moment until Soyuncu does well to slide in and deflect the Burnley striker's shot out for a corner.

86'

Barsdley rounds Justin and is then brought down just outside of Leicester's area. The Clarets have a free-kick in a great position which Brownhill can only send wide of Schmeichel's goal.

85'

Taylor's cross is far too deep for both Wood and Vydra, meaning Justin has a chance to break down the left after recovering possession.

83'

Praet, who has just added Leicester's fourth, is replaced by Albrighton.

81'

Burnley did look like they had a chance of getting something out of this game until Praet's rocket of a finish.

79'

Barnes attacks down the left wing before playing a short pass to Praet for the goal.

79'

GOALLLLLL!!! 4-2 LEICESTER! Barnes goes wandering down the left and attracts the defender’s attention before teeing up Praet. The midfielder then unleashes a remarkable effort in to the top right corner from the edge of the area. What a strike!

79'

Vardy takes a whack on the back of the ankle from Dunne's high boot but the Leicester forward is quickly back on his feet.

77'

Burnley go in search of an equaliser and are committing more bodies forward, however, the move breaks down as Vydra is tackled by Ndidi 30 yards from goal.

75'

Aged 22 years and 237 days, Jimmy Dunne is the youngest player to score in the Premier League for Burnley.

73'

McNeil sets up Dunne with a free-kick from wide on the left.

73'

GOALLLL!!! 3-2! Dunne grabs a goal on debut as he heads home McNeil’s wide free-kick from inside the six-yard box. Schmeichel could do nothing as the centre-back's flick was travelling at such pace from close range.

71'

This game is opening up, Barnes and Vardy keep looking to exploit the space Burnley are now offering but the visitors won't go down without a fight. The Clarets now have a free-kick on the left-hand side.

70'

Vydra comes on for Rodriguez as Dyche looks for fresh legs up top.

69'

Castagne and Barnes have caused all the problems for Burnley. The former again reaches the byline and is unlucky not to register another assist with Taylor making a crucial block at the front post.

68'

CHANCE! Wood is sheltered away from goal by Ndidi but plays in Taylor. The full-back's cross towards the front post is then a good one and Rodriguez only manages to deflect his shot over Schmeichel's goal from close range.

66'

CHANCE! How has Vardy not scored here? Justin prods the ball through to Vardy, who rounds Pope but then fails to release a shot before being tackled by Brownhill. The striker should be putting Leicester 4-1 up there.

64'

James Justin has scored his first league goal for Leicester, with this being his first league goal in 41 appearances since netting for Luton against Bradford City in League One in November 2018.

62'

Perez, who just set up the third goal, is replaced by England international Maddison.

61'

GOALLLLL!!! 3-1 LEICESTER! Castagne fakes one way and goes the other down the line before playing in Perez. Leicester's winger is crowded out by defenders but manages to find Justin in the area and the full-back slots home from close range with his right foot.

60'

Praet looks to dance past Barsdley and the full-back is forced to concede another corner down the left. The corner is worked short before Justin's shot is deflected out for another corner.

59'

Wood finds himself inside the area but wastes the opportunity as he fires his shot tamely in to the hands of Schmeichel.

58'

Ndidi carelessly gives the ball away, however, Burnley fail to capitalise through Brownhill as he overhits his pass forward.

56'

Both Castagne and Pieters are down injured. The Burnley full-back had been fouled by Praet, while Castagne looks to have been involved in a collision. Physios from both sides come on to tend to their players.

55'

Burnley have scored more PL own goals since August 2018 than any other current PL side (6).

54'

The Foxes look to launch another counter-attack but Long and Dunne combine well to remove the danger, with Barnes and Perez looking to advance.

52'

Despite deploying two full-backs on the left side for Burnley, Tielemans somehow still had the quality to slide his pass between the two and find Castagne in the build-up to that goal. The Belgian midfielder has been excellent so far.

50'

GOALLLLL! 2-1 LEICESTER! Tielemans slides in Castagne wide on the right. The full-back whips a right-footed cross across goal and Pieters deflects it in to his own net past Pope. The keeper had no chance and Pieters had no way of getting out the way of that one.

45'+2'

Dyche's inexperienced centre-back pairing have done well against Vardy, but this game is only heading one way if the Clarets continue to allow Leicester so much space out wide. Barnes and Castagne in particular look a constant threat, although for as long as Ndidi is at the back, Wood and Rodriguez will fancy their chances of nicking another goal.

48'

Dunne, on debut, nearly marks the occasion with a goal. He races towards Westwood's corner, however, Soyuncu gets there just in front of him and clears the danger.

45'+2'

The hosts started the brighter of the two teams, yet it was Wood who opened the scoring for the visitors as he capitalised on Justin's error at the back post from Taylor's deep cross. However, Dyche's side only managed to lead for 10 minutes, as Barnes equalised from inside the area after some good work from Vardy. The teams do go in level at half-time, however, it has largely been Leicester's half.

47'

Perez rounds McNeil before he is dragged down by the winger. Referee Mason sees it differently and awards Burnley a throw-in, despite Leicester's protestations.

45'+2'

HALF-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 1-1 BURNLEY

46'

The teams are back out and referee Mason blows his whistle to get the game back underway.

45'+1'

There will be two minutes of added time here at the King Power Stadium as Tielemans somehow manages to retain possession despite both Rodriguez and Wood snapping at his heels.

45'

Tielemans finds space 20 yards out, however, his shot does not test Pope as it is straight at him in the centre of the goal.

45'

Justin, who was at fault for the first goal, again looks hesitant in the air and is lucky that Soyuncu is their to cover as Rodriguez breaks away from the full-back.

43'

Dunne and Wood look to trouble Soyuncu under the high ball but this time Mason decides the Burnley players have been too physical and awards Leicester a free-kick.

41'

With that enforced change bringing Pieters on, it looks like Burnley will play with two natural full-backs on the right wing.

40'

Brady has picked up a knock and has to be replaced by Pieters.

39'

Very nearly a tap-in for Barnes at the back post. Vardy plays in Praet, who slides a right-footed cross across the area, but Barsdley is there to turn the ball away for a corner.

38'

Barnes and Praet link up well on the left, forcing Westwood to come across and cover, conceding yet another corner in the process.

37'

The Foxes' manager Rodgers has won 99 of his 209 Premier League matches in charge (D51 L59). Victory here will see him become the 23rd different manager to 100 wins in the competition, while he’d be the fourth quickest British manager to reach the milestone, after Alex Ferguson (162 games), Kenny Dalglish (197) and Kevin Keegan (209).

35'

Leicester again have consecutive corners and play short, however, their attempts to cross from out wide are poor and Pope deals with the danger.

33'

SAVE! Barnes runs at Barsdley and with the full-back backing off, manages to unleash a right-footed curling effort towards Pope's left. The keeper does well to get down smartly and save before Taylor heads behind for a corner.

32'

Burnley are sitting so deep in an attempt to neutralise the threat of Vardy's pace. By doing this, they are conceding so much space out wide hence why Castagne, Perez and Barnes keep looking dangerous for the hosts.

30'

CHANCE! A first save for Schmeichel as he dives low to his left to save Brady's effort. Burnley's midfielder had done well to create the initial space but his shot was too near to the goalkeeper.

29'

Leicester slide possession from one side of the pitch to the other. The chance eventually falls to Perez on the right of the area but Taylor does brilliantly to block with a sliding tackle.

27'

Brady tracks back and does well to recover as Justin nearly breaks away from him. This forces Leicester to play backwards and retain possession, just like they have done most of this half.

25'

Mendy slides in on the halfway line and is booked for his efforts. Not only was he late on Brownhill but he was also stopping Burnley's counter-attack.

24'

Leicester have consecutive corners which come to nothing. That is their fourth corner so far and they have not looked like scoring once.

22'

Burnley wanted a VAR check on Perez's involvement in the equaliser but Mason was having none of their claims for offside. The winger just stepped out the way and did not look to be in Pope's line of sight.

21'

Harvey Barnes has been directly involved in four goals in his last three league games against Burnley, scoring twice and assisting twice.

20'

Castagne plays a simple pass inside to Barnes, who finishes past Pope in the Burnley net.

20'

GOALLL! 1-1! Vardy is released down the middle and does well to hold off both Taylor and Long. The striker then plays a pass back to Castagne, who tees up Barnes to finish in to the bottom left corner from inside the area.

19'

Tielemans is dictating the play for Leicester, continually coming deep and receiving the ball before looking to unlock this Burnley defence.

17'

Barnes carries the ball well over the halfway line before playing towards Praet on the right. The midfielder swings in a cross towards the back post which Barsdley deflects away for a corner.

15'

McNeil attempts to challenge Ndidi on the left wing and ends up on the floor. The physios come on to tend to the winger, who appears to have been caught in the face by Ndidi's stray arm.

13'

Wood has scored in four consecutive Premier League games for the first time, last scoring in four league games on the bounce in January 2017 with Leeds in the Championship.

12'

Perez should do better inside the Burnley area as he is confronted by Long. The Burnley defender is too strong for him and Leicester will have the first corner of the game.

10'

GOALLLLLLL! 1-0 BURNLEY! McNeil lays the ball back to Taylor, who then swings in a deep cross from the left wing. Justin somehow manages to get underneath the cross, allowing Wood to chest it down and slam home in to the bottom left corner. There is a quick VAR check but the goal stands.

8'

Rodriguez goes in very late on Justin with a slide tackle and is rightly booked by referee Mason.

7'

Westwood makes a surging run from midfield and finds himself in a good position on the right wing. He then wastes the opportunity as he scuffs his cross towards the edge of the area.

5'

Praet has acres of space on the right after being played in by Castagne, however, the midfielder's cross is wild and flies over all the Leicester attackers in the box and out for a Burnley throw.

3'

Perez releases Castagne down the right but his cross is flicked away and Burnley look to counter through Wood. Soyuncu recovers well to stop the New Zealand international from making progress.

2'

The Irish centre-back pairing have big boots to fill for the Clarets here. This is the first Premier League fixture since December 2014 that Burnley have played without either Tarkowski or Mee.

1'

Referee Lee Mason blows his whistle to signal the start of proceedings.

-

The players are making their way on to the pitch and shortly the game will be underway!

-

It is hard to look past the Foxes in this fixture. They are unbeaten in nine home league games against Burnley (W5 D4), including all five of their games against them at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League (W3 D2).

-

Sean Dyche confirms James Tarkowski misses the game through injury. The defender’s injury means Dunne makes his Premier League debut as he joins Long to form an inexperienced centre-back partnership. Burnley are also without the injured trio of Jack Cork, Ben Mee and Ashley Barnes.

-

Brendan Rodgers names the same eleven that defeated the Baggies last weekend. Ndidi will again fill in at centre-back, while Castagne makes his home debut. New signing Cengiz Under is not in the squad.

-

SUBS: Josh Benson, Matthew Lowton, Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Matej Vydra, Erik Pieters, Bobby Thomas, Anthony Driscoll-Glennon.

-

BURNLEY (4-4-2): Nick Pope; Phil Bardsley, Kevin Long, Jimmy Dunne, Charlie Taylor; Josh Brownhill, Ashley Westwood, Robbie Brady, Dwight McNeil; Chris Wood, Jay Rodriguez.

-

SUBS: Christian Fuchs, Kelechi Iheanacho, Hamza Choudhury, Wes Morgan, James Maddison, Marc Albrighton, Danny Ward.

-

LEICESTER CITY (4-1-4-1): Kasper Schmeichel; James Justin, Wilfred Ndidi, Caglar Soyuncu, Timothy Castagne; Nampalys Mendy; Dennis Praet, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes, Ayoze Perez; Jamie Vardy.

-

The hosts kicked off their top-flight campaign with a dominant 3-0 win away at West Brom. This is Burnley’s first outing in the league, however, the Clarets were in EFL Cup action in midweek, triumphing over Sheffield United on penalties.
