Your support makes all the difference.Claudio Ranieri's side will be buzzing with confidence after their 3-0 win in Leicester's first ever Champions League game. They have had a poor start to their Premier League season but this win may be the spark they need to get their campaign off and running.
Newly promoted Burnley come into the game having drawn at home to Hull last week. They sit 15th in the Premier League with one win and one draw from four.
It’s a big game for…
Islam Slimani. Leicester City bought the Algerian striker from Sporting Lisbon for £29.7 million, a record fee for the club.
The forward had a prolific goalscoring record in Portugal and if he can make a positive impact, he could find himself named alongside Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez in Leicester's front line.

Burnley have not beaten Leicester away since November 2007.
