Burnley welcome Leeds in an early six-pointer in the context of the relegation battle. The Clarets have already beaten Sunderland at home this season and are desperate for a repeat of that result, with that win being their only success of the season so far.

Leeds have avoided defeat in four of their seven Premier League matches so far, which is a steady record for a newly promoted side. They can open up a seven-point gap over their relegation rivals with a win here.

📈 Burnley v Leeds Form & Tactics

Burnley have performed admirably across their opening seven matches of the season, but it’s clear they lack the quality to compete every week in the Premier League. There have already been multiple instances of Burnley conceding last-minute goals or giving up leads, which are usually signs that relegation is likely at the end of the season.

One of the most startling metrics from their start to the season is the fact that they’ve already conceded 15 goals in the Premier League. This is notable as Burnley only conceded 16 goals across the entirety of the Championship season last year, highlighting the real jump up in class and quality between the two divisions.

Leeds have also performed well given the circumstances. The newly promoted sides look a lot more prepared for the challenges of Premier League football. This isn’t a guarantee of survival, but I’d expect them to make more of a fight of it than the likes of Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton did last season.

The issue for both these sides is finding a consistent stream of goals - all three of the promoted sides have scored just seven goals across their seven Premier League matches. I’d argue this needs to increase soon as their backlines are not secure enough to see out games through that avenue alone.

Leeds’ best performances so far have come at Elland Road; it’ll be these games that keep them up if they are to survive in the Premier League this season. However, Farke must also target these away games against lesser opposition as an opportunity to pick up crucial points which won’t be common on the road.

📔 Burnley v Leeds Formation & Team News

Burnley have toyed with a few different formations so far this season as Scott Parker attempts to try and make them a tougher side to break down. I think their best defensive performance so far came against Liverpool at Turf Moor, a game they were very unlucky to lose with only Salah’s last-minute penalty splitting the sides.

The Clarets lined up in a 4-2-3-1 against Sunderland, which may be the preferred approach of Scott Parker here, knowing that his side will get more opportunities in the final third than usual. They have also lined up in a few iterations of 5-4-1 throughout the season, which is a strategy more reserved for when they play the elite sides in the Premier League.

Burnley could be without their best player so far this season in Jaidon Anthony, who is a doubt for this game. The winger has registered five goal contributions across his seven Premier League appearances this season (4 goals, 1 assist) and is Burnley’s most likely goalscorer.

Leeds tend to line up in a 4-3-3 and that shouldn’t change here with Daniel Farke eyeing up a victory that would take his side seven points clear of their relegation rivals. Starting goalkeeper Perri is a doubt so Karl Darlow may line up between the sticks on Saturday afternoon as he has been in recent matches. Dan James and Wilfred Gnonto are also doubts for this game.
