Burnley v Leeds

Burnley vs Leeds Preview

Burnley return to Turf Moor for Monday night's top-of-the-table clash with Leeds United in the Championship on the back of a 5-0 thumping of Plymouth Argyle in midweek and the upcoming hosts know they can draw level with the league leaders, Leeds United, if they can take all three points in this encounter.

As for Leeds United, the Yorkshire visitors will be looking to make it three league wins on the trot in the English second tier having previously accounted for the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City respectively, and Daniel Farke's side know they can put further daylight between themselves and second placed Sheffield United with a win at Turf Moor.

Burnley bring a 15-game unbeaten run into this tasty Championship clash which consists of nine wins and six draws but while this is the longest unbeaten run at the moment in the division, Scott Parker's side may be rueing being involved in one too many draws in recent times.

Results on home soil at Turf Moor have underlined the number of stalemates that Burnley have had to endure as The Clarets have registered six wins but also involved in no fewer than seven draws within their 13 home games so far in this season's Championship campaign.

Leeds United still remain top of the Championship table after second placed Sheffield United were unable to take their opportunity of claiming all three points on Friday night against lowly Hull City and indeed, The Blades suffered an unexpected heavy 3-0 defeat at Bramall Lane, handing the initiative over to Leeds United and indeed Burnley.

The visitors will now be looking to take their chance of extending their lead at the top of the division to four points with a win at Turf Moor on Monday night and having put together an impressive 10-game unbeaten sequence, Daniel Farke's men have a decent chance of achieving just that.

Seven wins within these previous 10 games emphasises Leeds United's ability to turn potential draws into all three points and includes picking up vital wins on the road at Stoke City and Derby County, while the bigger picture shows The Peacocks have suffered just three defeats throughout the whole season to date.

Leeds United will be looking to avenge a 1-0 defeat at Elland Road to Burnley in the earlier corresponding fixture back in mid-September as the visitors look to continue their winning momentum and ambitions of achieving automatic promotion.

Previous exchanges between Burnley and Leeds United have favoured the Yorkshire outfit as the visitors have lost just once in the previous six meetings to their hosts and as Leeds United have also claimed four wins within these previous six encounters, the visitors look the more likely for the spoils in this one.
