Leeds United are welcoming Burnley for yet another vital fixture after their 1-4 result against 4th-placed Arsenal.

Insights:
  • Leeds United have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Burnley have yet to win a game away.

Burnley could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier League game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Manchester United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Burnley.

Leeds United have played 9 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). Leeds United has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Bielsa Caldera and the players.

Leeds's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-4 versus Arsenal (placed 4th). Meslier had a busy but productive day in the Arsenal match. Despite making eight saves the loss could not be prevented. Meslier, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.44 out of 10 in that game. Meslier stopped the opponent with eight saves.

Burnley form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burnley so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-5 (win-draw-lose). Burnley has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Burnley, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Manchester United (placed 6th). Attacker Lennon got a player rating of 7.33 in the game. "Man of the match" Lennon scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A draw for Burnley before that, at their own venue hosting West Ham United (0-0).

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Burnley as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. As for defending, Burnley rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 16 goals from these away matches.
