Burnley vs Leeds: Pre-match stats

Burnley have only lost one of their last six home league games against Leeds United (W3 D2), although are winless in their last three (D2 L1) since a 1-0 Championship victory in April 2016.

Leeds have only lost one of their last six league meetings with Burnley (W3 D2), although failed to score in both Championship meetings between the two sides last season (D1 L1).

After beating Wolves 3-1 in September, Leeds United are looking to win consecutive Premier League away games for the first time since April 2022 under Jesse Marsch. The Whites have, however, kept just one clean sheet in their last 24 away games in the top-flight (51 goals conceded), doing so via a 0-0 draw at Newcastle in December 2022.

Burnley are averaging just 35.3 per cent possession in the Premier League this season, the third-lowest by any side in a campaign on Opta’s records in the division (from 2003-04), ahead of only Cardiff in 2018-19 (33.9 per cent) and Sheffield United in 2023-24 (35 per cent).

Bottom two managers for PPG in PL history meet

This game sees Scott Parker face Daniel Farke – the bottom two managers for Premier League points-per-game averages of any to oversee 50+ games in the competition’s history.

Burnley boss Parker averages 0.75 (P59 W10 D14 L35) per game and Leeds' Farke 0.61 (P56 W8 D10 L38).

How Burnley could move out of the relegation zone...

Following Nottingham Forest's home defeat to Chelsea in the lunchtime kick-off, Burnley could move out of the relegation zone with just a draw.

Forest's 3-0 loss to the Blues means they have a worse goal difference than the Clarets, so a draw could be enough to lift them to 17th, with only a big Wolves win at Sunderland complicating things.

A win for Scott Parker's side, however, would definitely move them out of the drop zone and put them a point behind Leeds.

For Daniel Farke's side, victory could move them into the top half if other results go their way.

Leeds to be frustrated by Burnley again?

Despite Leeds beating Burnley to the Championship title last season on goal difference, the Clarets had the better of the Whites when they met.

Leeds failed to score in both Championship encounters against Scott Parker's side last season.

In fact, Burnley picked up four points against Daniel Farke's side last season as they won 1-0 at Elland Road and drew 0-0 at Turf Moor.

Burnley aiming to avoid unwanted Football League history...

Burnley have conceded the second-most goals in the opening seven Premier League games this season (15, behind only West Ham), and just one fewer than they shipped in 46 Championship matches last season.

In Football League history, the only side to concede their previous season’s tally within their first eight games of a campaign were Liverpool in 1894/95 (first seven).

Last time out: Both teams lose

Both Burnley and Leeds lost before the international break.

The Clarets suffered a 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, while Leeds were beaten by the same scoreline at home to Tottenham.

PL Predictions: Four-goal draw at Turf Moor

Sky Sports' tipster Lewis Jones:

Every so often in the Premier League, a fixture becomes more than just three points. There's six points on offer here.

Both clubs know a win shifts momentum, belief and in many cases season trajectories. And these 'six-pointers' very often produce open, high-intensity, attacking football - something which isn't portrayed by the market.

The last 33 'six pointers' in the Premier League - a subjective definition of the fixture - has seen an average of 2.8 goals scored. When assessing the odds, the 6/5 being dangled by Sky Bet on over 2.5 goals being scored is hard to resist.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-2 | JONES KNOWS' BEST BET: Over 2.5 goals (6/5 with Sky Bet)

Burnley make three changes as Foster misses out

Burnley make three changes from the defeat at Aston Villa before the international break.

Zian Flemming, Lesley Ugochukwu and Jacob Bruun Larsen come in.

Loum Tchaouna and Josh Laurent drop to the bench, but striker Lyle Foster misses out entirely after suffering an injury on international duty with South Africa.

Harrison handed first PL start of season for Leeds

Jack Harrison has been handed his first Premier League start of the season for Leeds.

He is the only change from the 2-1 home loss to Spurs as he replaces the absent Noah Okafor.

The Swiss forward is reportedly injured.

Daniel James and goalkeeper Lucas Perri return to the matchday squad after injuries as the pair are named on the bench.
