TEAM NEWS

Burnley defender Phil Bardsley is a definite injury absentee, while goalkeeper Nick Pope and midfielder Dale Stephens will be assessed.

Recent absentees Robbie Brady and Kevin Long will miss out once more.

Leeds United captain Liam Cooper - who has missed the past four games because of suspension and then injury - is available.

Kalvin Phillips, Raphinha and Rodrigo are also pushing for recalls after recently returning to fitness.

Burnley made sure of their safety, and relegated Fulham at the same time, with their win at Craven Cottage on Monday. I never really felt the Clarets were ever in serious danger of the drop though.

Because they know they are staying up, Sean Dyche's side might be more open than usual here.

Leeds will definitely go for it again. They were very impressive in their win over Tottenham last time out, and in control for most of it.
