LiontipsBurnley vs Leicester City. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (January 15, 2022).
Command Analysis
Burnley weren't very successful in the domestic cups this season. They failed to get past the Round of 16 of the League Cup, and lost to Huddersfield (1:2) in their first match of the FA Cup.
In the Premier League, Burnley sit in the relegation zone after the first 17 matches. Sure, they have a few games in hand, but Sean Dyche's chances to keep his team in the Premier League are vanishing with every defeat.
Burnley have earned 11 points from one victory and eight draws. After a goalless draw with West Ham, the Clarets lost to Manchester United (1:3) and Leeds United (1:3).
Barnes is injured and won't be able to help his team today. Collins, McNeil, Taylor, Pieters, Vydra have been placed in COVID protocol.
The current trophy holder of the FA Cup, Leicester City crushed Watford (4:1) in their first match of the 2022 edition of the tournament. In the League Cup, the Foxes reached the quarterfinal stage, but were knocked out by Liverpool.
Leicester have endured a poor Premier League campaign. They have earned 25 points from seven victories and four draws, and currently are occupying the 10th line in the standings. Reaching the European club competition zone would be a miracle.

Berntrand, Fofana, Evans, Pereira, Soumare, Castagne, Vardy, Daka and Soyuncu have been sidelined through injuries. Mendy, Amartey, Nidid and Iheanacho are unavailable due to their Africa Cup of Nations duties.
