5 bold Premier League predictions: Tottenham lose again, Adrian denies Manchester City
4. Leicester demolish Burnley
One of the weekend’s more unpredictable games comes when Leicester host Burnley at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. Burnley have been in unbelievable form this season and are currently only three points back from a place in the top four.
The Clarets are demonstrating form similar to that of Leicester a few seasons ago by punching well above their weight. However, this weekend we think Sean Dyche’s men could be brought back down to earth by a rejuvenated Leicester side.
Under Claude Puel, the Foxes have once again found their feet and look like the menacing team they were a couple of season ago. They showed this on Tuesday night with a victory over Tottenham in an exciting encounter.
Manchester City and Chelsea are the only two teams to have scored twice against Burnley but Leicester could join that club at the weekend. The Foxes’ playing style doesn’t match up with the rest of the Premier League clubs and it will force Burnley to change their game slightly.
This subtle change should be enough to rock the boat for the Clarets and we expect Leicester to run away with a romping victory, led by Jamie Vardy.
