1. Kasper Schmeichel
The City keeper produced some good saves when called upon and kept his 10th clean sheet of the season.
Rating 7
2. Ritchie De Laet
Shook off a back injury to face the Clarets and didn't look hindered by the problem as he used his pace effectively in both defence and attack.
Rating 7
5. Wes Morgan
Not only is he a defensive rock, but he also showed considerable skill to produce the cross that led to David Nugent's winner.
Rating 7
22. liam moore
Called up after Zak Whitbread was injured and did superbly well. Has now established himself in the City squad.
Rating 7
3. Paul Konchesky
A steadying influence at left-back and provided some attacking width with some darting runs down the touchline in the second half.
Rating 7
4. Danny Drinkwater
Bossed the midfield wth Matty James alongside him in this new formation. He doesn't get outnumbered and can influence the game.
Rating 7
16. Matty James
Growing in stature with each game. Did an excellent job in midfield against the club he supported as a boy.
Rating 7
7. Ben Marshall
Works hard and can deliver a telling cross, and was unlucky on two occasions with stinging shots that goalkeeper Lee Grant pushed away.
Rating 6
24. Anthony Knockaert
Given an attacking midfield role just behind Nugent and showed some good touches, but not as effective as in previous games.
Rating 6
11. Lloyd Dyer
Provides some much-needed width down the left but can become isolated when City don't get the ball out to him enough.
Rating 6
35. David Nugent
Led the line superbly and produced an excellent finish for the winner. He was the difference between one point and all three.
Rating 8
