Leicester - Burton

Leicester City welcome Burton Albion to King Power Stadium on 22 August 2026 for this League One matchday 2 encounter. Both sides enter the fixture looking to build momentum after opening their league campaigns with shared points last weekend. Leicester City arrive following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Notts County, while Burton Albion secured an identical result in their own meeting with Stevenage.

Leicester City will aim to recapture the winning feeling they experienced in their EFL Cup victory over Northampton Town earlier this month. Conversely, Burton Albion seek to recover from a narrow defeat to Blackburn Rovers in the same competition. With the two clubs having met previously in competitive cup ties, including a 2-0 win for Leicester City in August 2023, the visitors will be eager to disrupt the hosts' rhythm and claim their first league win of the season.
