Sean Dyche’s Burnley have suddenly come to life. The Clarets are unbeaten in four straight games. They took eight points from 12 over the course of their last four league matches.

On Sunday, Burnley head across England to Yorkshire to play Leeds United. The Clarets are seeking to keep their unbeaten run going. Burnley are up to 16th place with 13 points from 39 possible.

Leeds United continued their inconsistent league form on matchday 14 with a 6-2 loss against Manchester United. The Whites have lost three of their last four league matches. Leeds United have 17 points from 42 possible.

Marcelo Bielsa’s team have been figured out in the Premier League. Their press and running has not translated completely to the division and they continue to concede goals. Leeds United have conceded a league leading 30 times.

Burnley have taken 11 points from their last 18 possible. They are in the fifth-best form of any team in the league. Leeds United, on the other hand, have taken just seven points from 18 possible over the course of their last six games.

Leeds United have not been great at Elland Road. They have managed just two wins from seven games, accumulating a total of eight points from 21.

Bielsa has defensive issues and their 13 goals conceded at home in seven games is proof. Centre-back Robin Koch remains out of action with a long-term injury. Fellow centre-back Diego Llorente is a doubt. Liam Cooper is also a doubt as it stands for the Sunday match.

Dyche has added a few names to his injury list this week. Johann Berg Gudmundsson continues to be a name on the injury list. He now has a thigh injury. Robbie Brady, Dwight McNeil, and Matej Vydra are all set to take late fitness tests. Meanwhile, Jack Cork is a doubt for the game.

Burnley are coming off of a big 2-1 win at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. They should continue their good form this weekend at Elland Road. A point will do for both teams as they seek survival from relegation.

The Clarets are three points above the relegation zone going into the weekend as the relegation-threatened teams seek survival. Leeds United are seven points above the drop and have a little more room to breathe.

Sunday’s game at Elland Road should be low scoring in spite of Leeds United’s goal record. The teams should finish in a score draw as a point will benefit them both during a busy period of football.
