Burton Albion vs Leicester City: EFL Championship Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Leicester City’s upcoming fixture will see them visit Pirelli Stadium for their second match of the season. They are set to face third-tier Burton Albion in the initial round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday. After being relegated from the Premier League last season, Leicester commenced their Championship journey with a win against Coventry City. On the other hand, Burton Albion, who suffered a loss to Blackpool in their League One opener, will be aiming to rebound. This encounter marks an important early clash for both teams as they look to make their mark in their respective leagues.

After a disappointing start in their first match, Burton Albion is gearing up for their second game in the 2023-24 season under manager Dino Maamria. Last year, Maamria took over the team in September after a rough League One beginning, ultimately securing a respectable 15th position with 56 points from 46 games. Despite an ambitious preseason against teams like Crewe Alexandra and West Bromwich Albion, they faced a challenging start in League One against newly-relegated Blackpool, resulting in a 2-0 loss with Shayne Lavery scoring twice. Looking to recover, Burton Albion aims to bounce back in the EFL Cup, seeking a confidence boost before their tough upcoming league match against Derby County at home.

Facing Leicester City is Burton Albion, who experienced significant changes after relegation from the Premier League last season. Just seven seasons after clinching the English top flight title, Leicester couldn’t avoid the drop to the Championship. Following Dean Smith’s departure, Enzo Maresca assumed the managerial role, and despite a 4-0 friendly loss to Liverpool, Leicester commenced their Championship journey against Coventry City. While trailing initially, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s headed goal equalized, and his impressive late curler secured a 2-1 victory. Maresca’s team aims to sustain this momentum into the EFL Cup and secure a back-to-back win. Last season’s quarter-finalists will then face Huddersfield Town in their next league fixture.
