Why Burnley are facing a race against the clock to seal new signings before Leicester City clash
Sean Dyche has been coy on transfers so far this season - however, the Clarets are being heavily linked with a move for £7m-rated Bristol City midfielder Josh Brownhill.
But the club will need to finalise deals quickly if they want to be included in the squad for the clash against Brendan Rodgers' Foxes on Sunday afternoon.

Although no activity is expected this morning, if Burnley do make a breakthrough they have until midday today to secure any new signings - otherwise, they won’t be able to feature until the trip to Manchester United on Wednesday, January 22.
Dyche is believed to be targeting additions during this window, with players like Joe Hart likely to leave.
