After wins in the League Cup, Burnley and Leeds United go in search of their opening wins in the Premier League as the campaign goes into Match Day 3. Burnley have no point so far in the league while Leeds have one from two matches. In their most recent game, Burnley needed post match penalties to beat Newcastle United in the League Cup. They will want to use it as the springboard to the Leeds game, as they eye a first win in the league. To do that, they will have to tighten at the back, having conceded four times in the opening two games. They also need to improve in attack, after scoring just once in the opening three matches. Last season, Burnley were among the lowest scorers, managing 33 goals in 38 matches. They take to this game a run of five straight losses in the league and in that run, they’ve failed to score in four while conceding two or more in four of five. They have no win in the last 11 league games at home, losing six and keeping just one clean sheet.

Leeds United started the season with a 5-1 loss to Manchester United but have grown from that defeat drawing with Everton in the second game before beating Crewe in the League Cup. They have one clean sheet in their last five matches – the 3-0 win over Crewe – and all their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Marcelo Bielsa’s preference for attacking football has time and again cost his tams defensively and it is again the case with Leeds ahead of this game. They have conceded two goals or more in four of their last five matches and scored two or more in three. They’ve failed to score once in the last five matches. Going to this game they have one loss in six league matches but have no win in the last two, while in their last 10 league matches, they’ve kept just three clean sheets. Leeds have scored two or more goals in four of their last five league matches.
