Leeds United are set to face Burnley at Elland Road in an intriguing Championship clash as both teams look to build momentum early in the season. Leeds have bounced back from a slow start, while Burnley are aiming to snap a winless streak.

Leeds vs Burnley Standings and Recent Form

Leeds began their campaign with two draws and an early exit from the EFL Cup but have since found their stride with back-to-back league wins. Currently sitting in fourth place, Leeds are eyeing automatic promotion after last season’s playoff final heartbreak.

Under the guidance of manager Daniel Farke, the club has navigated the departure of several key players over the summer, including Georginio Rutter, Crysencio Summerville, and Luis Sinisterra. Despite these challenges, Leeds have netted seven goals in their first four league matches, with contributions from Brenden Aaronson, Mateo Joseph, Wilfried Gnonto, and Daniel James.

Burnley, meanwhile, had an impressive start with two big wins but have faltered recently, going winless in their last three outings, including a loss to Wolves in the EFL Cup. They currently find themselves in mid-table and will be hoping to reignite their early-season form under new manager Scott Parker, who replaced Vincent Kompany.

The Clarets scored nine goals in their first two games but have struggled to maintain that attacking momentum. Key departures like Jacob Bruun Larsen and Zeki Amdouni have left a void, with striker Lyle Foster now tasked with leading the line, having scored once in his last five appearances.

Leeds vs Burnley Head-to-Head

Since 2020, Leeds and Burnley have met four times in the Premier League, with Leeds dominating the fixture with three wins and one draw. The most recent encounter at Elland Road saw Leeds triumph 3-1 in January 2022, with goals from Jack Harrison, Stuart Dallas, and Daniel James. Leeds also recorded a 4-0 win away at Burnley in the previous season. Burnley's last victory against Leeds came in 2016 when they secured a narrow 1-0 win in the Championship.
