Burnley have won only one of their last seven meetings with Leeds, with the Whites unbeaten in four visits to Turf Moor, looking to be five unbeaten there for the first time ever.
Burnley vs Leeds preview
The last two Premier League seasons, all three newly-promoted clubs have been relegated straight back from whence they came, with these two battling for points to break this sequence.
Of the pair, it is Leeds United who currently have more points on the board, kicking off in 15th, and they'd be delighted to still be there come May. Before the international break, Daniel Farke's side suffered their first defeat at Elland Road since being beaten by Burnley 385 days earlier. Leeds were defeated 2-1 by Tottenham Hotspur, with Noah Okafor equalising, but Spurs were too strong in end.
This means Leeds currently have eight points on the board, enjoying victories over Everton and Wolves, while holding Newcastle and Bournemouth to draws in West Yorkshire. Between this international break and the next, the Whites will also face West Ham, Brighton and Nottingham Forest, so have to seize the opportunity to propel themselves away from the relegation zone.
As for hosts Burnley, they do kick off in the relegation zone, albeit they've been more competitive than their meagre points tally may suggest. A fortnight ago, the Clarets were beaten 2-1 at Villa Park, falling behind early, meaning Lesley Ugochukwu's late goal from close-range was unable to spark a full-scale comeback in the Midlands.
Scott's Parker's side were demolished 5-1 by Manchester City a week earlier, Maxime Estève accredited with two own goals, but that is the only time Burnley have appeared out of their depth. They were extremely unlucky to lose to both Manchester United and Liverpool, conceding a stoppage time spot-kick on both occasions, albeit their sole victory has come against newly-promoted Sunderland in August. So, who will collect three invaluable points at Turf Moor?

Burnley team news
Scott Parker has deployed an ultra-defensive back five in recent weeks, but did use a back four when Burnley beat Sunderland in August, so will he be more bold on Saturday?
Lesley Ugochukwu has not started in the Premier League since being sent off against Liverpool, but his goal at Villa Park could see him return to midfield, alongside Florentino Luís and Josh Cullen.
Burnley predicted lineup vs Leeds United: (4-5-1): Dúbravka; Walker, Estève, Laurent, Hartman; Cullen, Ugochukwu, Florentino Luís, Tchaouna, Anthony; Foster.
Burnley player to watch vs Leeds
Jaidon Anthony was replaced due to injury against Aston Villa, but is expected to be fit. This is a major boost considering he's scored four Premier League goals so far, so can he net against his former employers?
Leeds team news
With Lucas Perri still recovering from a thigh issue, veteran Karl Darlow, who started both of Wales' matches during the international break, will continue to deputise in goal.
Out-field, Ao Tanaka, who was one of Leeds' outstanding players in the EFL Championship, has not started any of the last five matches, unable to displace Sean Longstaff or Anton Stach.
In attack, with Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James still sidelined, Noah Okafor, the scorer against Spurs of course, as well as Brenden Aaronson could keep their places out-wide.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Burnley: (4-3-3): Darlow; Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Gudmundsson; Ampadu, Longstaff, Stach; Okafor, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin.
Leeds player to watch vs Burnley
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored his first goal for Leeds during their sole victory on the road so far at Wolves, while he has bagged four goals in his last six Premier League meetings with Burnley.
Burnley vs Leeds prediction
This crucial clash between two newly-promoted outfits is extremely tough to call, so a draw appear to be the most likely outcome at Turf Moor come Saturday afternoon: Burnley 1-1 Leeds United.
