Leicester City has started their title defense on the wrong foot by being winless in three of their first four matches, something that head coach Claudio Ranieri did not want and anticipate.
After opening their season with an embarrassing 1-2 defeat to newcomers Hull City, the Foxes then settled to a goalless draw with Arsenal. They managed to pull off a 2-1 win over Swansea City in their third game, though.
However, their last match was again humiliating, dropping a 1-4 game to Liverpool at the Anfield last Saturday, as per Goal.
The Reds' Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané netted the first two goals of the contest at the 13th and 31st minutes before Leicester's resident striker Jamie Vardy was able to score one for his side at the 38th, giving the hosts a 2-1 lead at the half.
Liverpool unleashed two more goals in the second half, from Adam Lallana at the 56th and Firmino's second one with one minute left before full time, to complete the Foxes' crushing loss.
Meanwhile, Burnley remained winless in their last two games after settling to a 1-1 draw with Hull City at the Turf Moor also last Saturday, via SkySports.
The game's first goal was scored at the 72nd minute via a long range shot by Clarets midfielder Steven Defour from 25 yards out.
It looked like head coach Sean Dyche's squad is heading towards their second win of the season, but Tigers winger Robert Snodgrass found the equalizer in stoppage time to force the tie and a share of a point in the overall standings for the two squads.
