Leeds United begin this set of fixtures down in 14th place. They host Burnley who are starting to climb the Premier League table and are now 16th. It's been an up and down season so far for Leeds United. Some good wins but a few heavy defeats too and that was the case in their last match. They went to Old Trafford and the club that conceded six at home to Spurs, scored six of their own against Leeds ending 6-2 ahead. Leeds don't seem to want to change their style but that was their third loss in four league games. They are only seven points above the relegation zone and some more defeats might have them looking over their shoulders. Defence is their big problem with 30 goals conceded in 14 league matches and that's with four clean sheets. No other side has conceded more Premier League goals this season than Leeds. Home form has seen just four points earned from their last five league games, another stat that needs to be improved. They'd gone five at home without a win before beating struggling Newcastle.

For the second time in three seasons Burnley made a bad start to the new term. No Europa League fixture congestion to blame this time with just two points from their first seven league games. They have managed to turn the situation around though and the last six games have seen them earn 11 points. Their only loss was at Manchester City and a form guide for the last five league matches has them in sixth place. They beat Wolves 2-1 at home in their last game and are now without a defeat in their last four league fixtures. Away form sees just that loss at City in the last five with three ending level. Now they are out of the bottom three, they can try to climb the table further and still have a game in hand. Go for a double chance bet on them to win or draw at Leeds.
