The EFL Championship returns this weekend and the biggest game of the weekend sees Leeds United take on Burnley.
This match is set to be the 65th meeting between Leeds and Burnley in their histories.
It is Leeds that have the advantage having won 34 games to Burnley’s 18 wins. There have also been 12 draws in that time.
In fact, Leeds come into this game unbeaten in each of the last 5 games against Burnley with this weekend’s away side not winning against them since April 2016. Will that continue here?
Coming into this game Leeds aren’t expected to be missing anyone due to injury or suspension.
Burnley on the other hand have an extensive injury list. Maxime Esteve, Nathan Redmond, Mike Tresor, Jordan Beyer, Hjalmar Ekdal, Zian Flemming and Aaron Ramsey are all set to miss this game with injury.
Leeds United - Illan Meslier, Junior Firpo, Joe Rodon, Pascal Struijk, Jayden Bogle, Ao Tanaka, Ethan Ampadu, Manor Soloman, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto, Mateo Joseph
Burnley - James Trafford, Lucas Pires, CJ Egan-Riley, Joe Worrall, Connor Roberts, Josh Brownhill, Josh Cullen, Jaidon Anthony, Hannibal Mejbri, Luca Koleosho, Lyle Foster
Mateo Joseph has greatly impressed at Leeds this season so far.
Often Leeds’ most creative player, Joseph has registered 1 goal and 2 assists so far this season.
The 20 year old will most likely continue to create chances and could be a huge influence to Leeds if they are to come away with a victory in this game.
Both of these teams have proven to be tough to break down thus far this season but in recent weeks it is Leeds United that have improved where Burnley have dipped off slightly.
Leeds come into this game looking the stronger of the two sides and we would expect them to come away with another win here. Burnley’s struggles against Leeds continuing.
That is why our team of professional tipping experts are backing a Leeds United Win in this game. At odds of 8/11, £10 has the potential to return up to £17.27.
