Sean Dyche’s side pride themselves on their home form, but they will want to win games like this to avoid talk of a relegation fight.

Odds
Burnley: 21/10
Draw: 5/2
Leeds: 5/4
Prediction
Burnley have struggled for goals so far but will undoubtedly get chances against a Leeds side who love to leave the back door open. With that said, Leeds did the double over Dyche’s men last season and this is the perfect opportunity for them to build on an entertaining draw with Everton. It promises to be a hard-fought game that could well end all square. 2-2.
