Daniel Farke’s Leeds United will face Scott Parker’s Burnley in an important Premier League match, with both teams aiming to break the cycle of gaining promotion only to be relegated immediately in the following season. Leeds, currently in 15th place, have lost two of their last four league games and will be looking for a strong performance from Jaka Bijol, who is set to make his Premier League debut. Burnley, sitting in 18th place, have struggled with five losses and one draw in their last six games but will be aiming to secure much-needed points.
Both Leeds and Burnley have started the season better than some previous newly promoted teams, and there is optimism about their survival chances in the Premier League. Leeds fans are confident that Burnley may face relegation, but this upcoming match could be pivotal for turning Burnley’s fortunes around.
Daniel Farke has a notable managerial record against Burnley, with matches against them typically being low-margin affairs. Leeds has only been beaten by four teams last season, with Burnley managing a 1-0 win at Elland Road and a 0-0 draw. Farke has faced Burnley multiple times during his time at Norwich City and will be looking to secure a win against them at Turf Moor.
Both Leeds and Burnley have undergone significant changes since their last meeting in January, with new players added to their squads and tactical changes implemented. While Burnley has introduced a back five formation, Leeds will be prepared for a different style of play compared to their last encounter. The upcoming match is crucial for both teams to target maximum points and improve their league standings.
