All the news as Burnley prepare to face Leicester City at Turf Moor tonight

Following our Premier League fixture with Manchester City on Saturday, during which a number of visiting supporters were arrested, the club continues to work closely with Lancashire Police, Greater Manchester Police along with its counterparts at the Etihad Stadium, to identify those responsible for a several alleged offences including making homophobic comments and assault.

The club would like to state that those identified for these offences will receive lengthy bans in addition to any sentence imposed by the courts.

The club has also been informed that there were several other persons ejected from the Etihad Stadium for engaging in threatening and abusive behaviour. These spectators will also be facing lengthy bans from Burnley Football Club.

We work hard to remove all forms of discrimination and inappropriate behaviour and our message to supporters is clear; racism and homophobia is wholly unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the club.

The vast majority of Clarets supporters attending our home and away fixtures behave in an exemplary manner and are a credit to the club. Unfortunately, since the start of the season we have seen a small number of our supporters causing disorder home and away which is tarnishing the reputation of our club.
