Sean Dyche admits Burnley will look to exploit Leicester City's set-piece frailties when the two sides meet on Tuesday.

The Foxes have conceded 19 goals from set-pieces this season, the worst record in the Premier League.

"There was a time when it looked like people had lost sight of set pieces, we haven't," Dyche said at his pre-match press conference, via LancsLive.

"We have an attention to detail on set pieces and we keep the format simple so the players know their job but equally the desire to defend at one end and score at the other and we have done very well at that.

"Every time we get a corner and a ball in the box we look a threat and that is an important factor over our seasons in the Premier League.

"Ben Mee's header against Tottenham was a fantastic header and a real desire to score a goal.

"We will certainly be making sure the players are on the detail for set pieces against a side who have found it tough. It doesn't guarantee you anything but you hope to be effective."
