Leeds, in 15th place, six points clear of bottom three with four games to play
Burnley's relegation back to the Championship has been confirmed
Recommended bet: Leeds to score over 2.5 goals
Leeds United must pick themselves up following their FA Cup heartbreak as they look for vital Premier League points when they host Burnley.
The Whites’ narrow cup semi defeat against Chelsea denied the club the chance of a first cup final appearance since 1973, but they must quickly forget about Wembley and refocus on ensuring they will be a top flight club once again next season.
The good news is that the mission is nearly complete and will be virtually confirmed with an Elland Road victory over the Clarets, who are already preparing for next season back in the Championship.

Team news
Ilia Gruev has been ruled out for the rest the season for Leeds with a knee injury, while Gabriel Gudmundsson's hamstring strain could see him sitting things out on Friday. Relegated Burnley have Josh Cullen (knee), Connor Roberts (calf) and Jordan Beyer (thigh) all out, while Hannibal Mejbri (thigh), Axel Tuanzebe (calf) and Zeki Amdouni (knee) are all unlikely to recover in time to feature
The stats
Leeds are unbeaten in their last five league games, while Burnley have lost their last four in the top-flight.
The Clarets have won just four games all season and only two away.
Leeds' home record is solid, winning seven of their 17 Elland Road fixtures, drawing five and losing five.
Burnley did beat Leeds at Turf Moor in October, winning 2-0.

Prediction
Leeds are understandably favourites for Saturday's clash as they go up against the already relegated clarets.
And, while it should be a home win to virtually confirm their own survival, Leeds will hope it is a comfortable night in front of their own fans with plenty of goals to go alongside three points.
The FA Cup semi-final disappointment aside, Farke's men have impressed in recent weeks, winning 2-1 at Manchester United and putting three past fellow strugglers Wolves and West Ham in other key victories.
The fact they were able to score freely against their other relegation candidates suggests another three-goal salvo from the Whites against the condemned Burnley is entirely possible and is backable.
