The 29-year-old returned from injury by coming off the bench in the 4-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Now, the New Zealand striker gets the nod from the start, partnering Matej Vydra in attack.

A win for the Clarets against a depleted Leicester this evening will ease fears of a relegation battle.

@pye_luke: I'm loving Wood being back but I hate seeing Brownhill wasted at right mid.

@Ethan99Con: Drop Jack Cork, put Brownhill in his position and Jay Rod wide right?

@Steeley_BFC: Big one tonight. Leicester not in great form and some injuries so we’ve got a chance! Come on Burnley
