Leicester travel to Burnley with a string of injuries threatening to derail their push for a top four finish and qualification for next season’s Champions League.

Brendan Rodgers’ side were beaten soundly by Arsenal last weekend, and have now added Harvey Barnes to a growing injury list.

The Clarets also suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Tottenham, inspired by the resurgent Gareth Bale.

The Foxes ran out 4-2 winners in the first meeting between the sides earlier in the season.

Dyche has been discussing the impact of the intense schedule this season, which he claims has limited the potential to implement creative training methods with the Clarets this season: “Managers used to have real free rein and trust.

“Now it’s slightly different. Not so much here, because I’ve been here a long time, but directors of football want to know your training schedules and what you’re doing. If you say you’re going down the Trent for an ice cream I’m not sure that always goes down well, although ironically sometimes it is needed to deload the players.

“Now it is more of a professional relentlessness. This is what you get paid for, this is your job, this is this is the schedule and these are the challenges. Buckle up and get on with it, end of.”
