Leeds United and Burnley will face each other in the Premier League this weekend. The match will be held at Elland Road and is scheduled to kick off at 2pm UK time on Sunday.
Leeds United
Leeds United are struggling for survival in the Premier League at the moment and are in real danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season. Marcelo Bielsa’s side are 16th in the league table with 16 points from 18 matches.
The Whites are five points clear of third-from-bottom Burnley, who have played 15 games. Leeds’s last two matches against Liverpool and Aston Villa had to be postponed due to coronavirus issues in the squad.
Team News:
Robin Koch and Luke Ayling should start in defence.
Burnley
Like Leeds United, Burnley are in serious danger of getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season. Sean Dyche’s side are third from bottom in the Premier League table at the moment with 11 points from 15 matches.
Burnley are two points behind 17th-placed Watford, who have played 17 games. The Clarets will take on Manchester United away from home at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Thursday evening before facing Leeds at Elland Road on Sunday.
Team News:
Chris Wood and Maxwell Cornet should start for Burnley.
Key Factors to Consider

Conclusion
Leeds are playing well, but they are simply not scoring enough goals and are also conceding far too many goals. A low-scoring draw against Burnley at Elland Road is the most likely outcome in this game.
