  • Leeds have not kept a clean sheet in their last five away fixtures

  • Recommended bet: Burnley draw no bet

Third-bottom Burnley have been the least convincing of the newly-promoted clubs in the Premier League but they will be looking to change the narrative when taking on mid-table Leeds at Turf Moor.

The Clarets have collected just four points from seven games although they have delivered some decent performances on home soil.

Scott Parker’s side won 2-0 against Sunderland and drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest, and they were far from disgraced in a 1-0 loss to Liverpool which was only decided by Mohamed Salah’s injury-time penalty.

Leeds are four points better off and can be reasonably pleased with how they are adapting to the higher level.

However, Daniel Farke’s side are heading to Lancashire under added pressure after a 2-1 loss at home to Tottenham before the break.

Team news

Lyle Foster (knock) is a doubt for Burnley after suffering an injury on international duty and Jordan Beyer (thigh) and Zeki Amdouni (knee) are long-term absentees. Jaidon Anthony (thigh) and Connor Roberts (knee) face late checks.

Wilfried Gnonto (calf) and Lucas Perri (thigh) could be back in contention for Leeds but Harry Gray (hip) is a doubt and Dan James (ankle) is not expected to feature before the end of the month.

The stats

Burnley have lost just one of their last 26 home league fixtures.

The Clarets have scored in seven of their last eight matches.

Nine of Burnley’s last 10 home games have featured less than four goals.

Leeds failed to score in each of their last two fixtures against Burnley.

The Whites have conceded the opening goal in their last four matches.

Prediction

Burnley picked up four points and a pair of clean sheets from last season’s Championship fixtures against Leeds and they can secure a valuable victory this weekend.

Top flight survival is the primary target for both clubs and Leeds are in better shape than their hosts after putting eight points on the board.

Daniel Farke’s side are showing some good signs with their xG for (8.75) slightly higher than their xG against (8.46).

But they have gone four matches without keeping a clean sheet, and any defensive errors could cost them against Burnley, who are a side which continues to take pride in their defensive work.

The Clarets have sustained just one home league defeat since they were relegated in 2023-24.

They look overpriced to get the better of Leeds, who will be seen as one of their principal relegation rivals.
