After almost a two-week break, the Premier League will return on Saturday. This is how Leicester City should line-up in their home fixture against Burnley.

During the international football hiatus from the Premier League, England managed to qualify for the Euro 2020 competition. Partly thanks to Ben Chilwell’s contribution in a 6-0 victory versus Bulgaria at Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia.

A match marred by racial abuse directed from a fascist minority of Bulgarian supporters, which almost saw the Englishmen leave the field of play. Although they decide to play on, making a stand against the disgusting behaviour. That choice will certainly affect the strength of future punishments – a truly great cause. See BBC Sport for more information on the issue.

Leicester City v Burnley

Meanwhile the premiership makes its comeback this weekend, and the Foxes face a tough game against the never-to-be-underestimated Burnley. Sean Dyche’s side have won two, drawn a couple and lost a match in their previous five league outings. That succession includes defeating Everton 1-0 at Turf Moor last time out.

Undoubtedly the Clarets are always a physical and challenging team to play. They will come to King Power Stadium with a clear intention to win by a one or two goal margin. Along with probably being happy with a draw if that is the eventuality.

Predicted XI

This is why Foxes of Leicester have put much thought into, in our opinion, what would be the best line-up for Brendan Rodgers’ roster, in a 4-3-2-1 set-up:

Kasper Schmeichel; Ricardo Pereira, Jonny Evans, Caglar Soyuncu, Ben Chilwell; Wilfred Ndidi, Hamza Choudhury, Youri Tielemans; James Maddison; Ayoze Perez; Jamie Vardy.

Must Read. Maddison has not helped his England career with naive judgment. light

Perez set Maddison up wonderfully in the Liverpool clash; the Spaniard needs to be more central. As a second support striker with the No.10 alongside him, he could be potent. The three in the centre should combat the North West side’s midfield pairing. Tielemans would have license to venture forward from the trio; as would Ricardo and Chilwell in the absence of wingers.
