The Foxes, meanwhile, are slipping down the table and are without a top-flight victory since December 28.
Brendan Rodgers is coming under increasing pressure and will be desperate for three points in Lancashire.

Burnley v Leicester: Teams news
Burnley defender Erik Pieters suffered a knock against Crystal Palace at the weekend and may must out.
The Clarets will again be without Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudmundsson.
As for Leicester, Jamie Vardy will make his long-awaited return from injury at Turf Moor.
Vardy has been absent since December 28 with a hamstring injury but is set to return to the squad along with Ricardo Pereira, who sat out the Europa Conference League win over Randers.
James Justin is around a week away from returning, while Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne and Ryan Bertrand remain sidelined.
Burnley v Leicester: What has been said?
Leicester manager Rodgers has welcomed the ‘huge boost’ provided by Vardy’s return as the Foxes seek a first Premier League win of 2022 against Burnley.
He said: “It’s always tough to be without good players and good characters as well and Jamie is a top player.
“He’s a legend in the Premier League, for everything he’s done for Leicester and his story, but he’s still got plenty of running left in him. It’s just great to have him back available. That’s a huge boost for us, of course.
“We’ve played three to four games less than other teams so my focus is only looking forward. We have to win games to work our way up the table and that’s our only notion.
“I’ve never felt any pressure from the club. They understand the path we’re on. The journey has been great. We’ve hit a period where we’ve had inconsistent results but there’s been mitigating circumstances and they understand that.
“The ownership have been first class. They have been empathetic. But we know we want to improve. They have been around it long enough to understand that progress is not linear.
“There are sometimes breaks within that but it also makes us even more determined to get our rhythm back and get back to winning games.”
