Leicester City face a trip to Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 27 and win only 8 of the 47 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2007, with Leicester City inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the Clarets in a Championship match.
