    Burnley - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

    12.30 KO



    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.

    MATCH FACTS

    Head-to-head

    Burnley could win four consecutive home league matches against Leeds for the first time.However, Leeds are vying to earn an unprecedented fourth straight top-flight victory in this fixture.

    Burnley host Leeds in a top-flight match for the first time since September 1975, when the visitors won 1-0.

    Burnley

    Burnley could set an outright club record of nine consecutive top-flight home league games without a win.

    They last endured a nine-match winless league run at home in the third tier in 1998-99.The Clarets have lost their last four home Premier League games at Turf Moor in May.Burnley's four victories in their past 16 league fixtures have all come away.

    Chris Wood scored in his only Burnley appearance so far against former club Leeds - an 89th-minute penalty in a League Cup tie in September 2017.

    Leeds United

    Leeds have only lost one of their past eight league matches, winning four and drawing three.

    They are the only side yet to draw a Premier League away game this season and are on a nine-match away league run without a clean sheet.

    The Whites are one game away from equalling their club record of 24 consecutive away league games without a draw.

    Patrick Bamford could become the first Whites player since Peter Lorimer in the 1974-75 campaign to score home and away against Burnley.

    Bamford has been involved in 22 Premier League goals this season, providing 15 goals and seven assists.Nine of those 15 goals have been scored in away matches.

    Bamford is the first player in five seasons to score 15 Premier League goals for a promoted club.

    0 - 3.

    Dyche gave a very good press conference - his reference to having a pint down the pub was funny if you watch it

    This has a feel of a letdown for us after the brilliant last game anyone else feels the same? Hope I'm wrong it's the way we have gone about it this year.

    Yes, I expect Taylor will play well too - maybe he will get on our bus and come back home?
