Sides put their promotion credentials on the line at Turf Moor
Burnley host Leicester in a clash of Championship sides with promotion ambitions.
The unbeaten Clarets sit in eighth place following an opening day victory over Nottingham Forest and last week's 1-1 draw at Ipswich as they bid to bounce back to the top flight at the first attempt.
The Foxes have started more slowly under new boss Paulo Sousa, notching their first point of the campaign in the goalless draw with Middlesbrough last time.
Recent history is on Leicester's side, given they have only lost once at Turf Moor in their last nine visits, a record stretching back to August 1978.
Clarets news
Burnley boss Brian Laws will be without defender David Edgar for the clash.
The Canadian made his first start for more than six months when he stood in for the injured Tyrone Mears at right-back in last weekend's draw at Ipswich.
However, he was sent off after picking up two yellow cards and now serves a one-match ban.
Laws expects Mears to shake off a shin injury and fill the right-back slot but defender Michael Duff remains sidelined with a calf injury.
Midfielder Chris McCann is out for six months with a knee injury while goalkeeper Diego Penny this week left the club after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.
Foxes news
Sousa has no new problems as he looks for his first league win as Leicester manager.
Fellow Portuguese Miguel Vitor remains a doubt after suffering a recurrence of his thigh injury last week while another defender, Aleksandar Tunchev, is nearing an end to his 19-month injury nightmare after resuming training following a double knee operation.
Forward Paul Gallacher is pushing for a start after impressing from the bench during the goalless home draw with Boro.
Defenders Michael Lamey and Michael Morrison and forwards Dany N'Guessan and Matty Fryatt are also options should Sousa wish to make changes.
