Who plays at the Walkers Stadium

Gareth Taylor - expected to start up front at Leicester
Dimitri Papadopoulos is back from his air miles collection trip to Ukraine and Greece on duty with the Greek Under 21s and Gareth Taylor returns from suspension. Taylor would have been able to play against Walsall last week despite the international call up and he will now return having seen the Welsh inflict a 2-1 defeat on Italy.

There are still some injuries and Alan Moore and Gordon Armstrong are both ruled out whilst Paul Weller, Lee Briscoe and Tony Grant are all still carrying groin injuries although all three featured last week.

I suspect that the only change to the starting eleven will see Taylor return to the starting eleven although there are a couple of choices as to who could miss out. It looks most likely to be either Ian Moore or Paul Cook with Steve Davis set to continue in midfield.

Stan may go for a 4-3-3 formation again as he did at Sheffield Wednesday and if that's the case I expect Burnley to line up: Marlon Beresford, Dean West, Ian Cox, Arthur Gnohere, Graham Branch, Glen Little, Paul Weller, Steve Davis, Robbie Blake, Gareth Taylor, Ian Moore.

If that is the starting line up the subs would be from: Mark McGregor, Paul Cook, Brad Maylett, Dimitri Papadopoulos, Tony Grant and Lee Briscoe.

Leicester will have to make at least one change from their last match with Turkish international Muzzy Izzett suspended after receiving five yellow cards. His place in midfield is expected to go to Stefan Oakes. There will also be a change of sub goalkeeper too with Simon Royce having joined QPR on loan. That place is expected to go to Michael Price.

They are expected to line up: Ian Walker, Frank Sinclair, Matt Elliott, Gerry Taggart, Callum Davidson, Jamie Scowcroft, Stefan Oakes, Billy McKinlay, Alan Rogers, Paul Dickov, Brian Deane, Subs from: Nicky Summerbee, Trevor Benjamin, Andy Impey, Martin Reeves, Matt Heath, Jon Ashton, Michael Price.
