Leeds United can take a huge step towards Premier League survival this weekend as they face a Burnley side already looking at Championship Football next season.
The Peacocks had their FA Cup dreams thwarted by Chelsea at the weekend and will now turn their attention to securing their place in the Premier League for next season. Daniel Farke's tactical change to implement a wing-back system has changed the fortunes of Leeds United as they look more defensively compact, whilst offering a threat with the likes of Jayden Bogle and Gabriel Gudmundsson on the flanks. Leeds United are sixth in the form table over the last five Premier League games with two wins and three draws, including a memorable 2-1 victory at Old Trafford against Manchester United. Leeds United have kept consecutive clean sheets in their last two home fixtures against Brentford and Wolves, and we think that trend will continue here.
As for Burnley, the Clarets' relegation was finally confirmed following a 1-0 defeat to Premier League contenders Manchester City at Turf Moor. Burnley's relegation has been forthcoming with the Clarets also in danger of finishing below Wolves this season. The visitors have lost their last four matches and have suffered six defeats in their last seven with their only point coming at home against Bournemouth. For a side that had an unprecedented defensive record in the Championship, the Clarets have shipped 68 goals this season.
Brenden Aaronsen will likely be the creative force for Leeds United as the American has provided two assists in his last three Premier League games.
Leeds 3-0 Burnley
