Leeds vs. Burnley lineups, team news

Leeds vs. Burnley prediction
Leeds have found their stride in the last few games and now look like genuine promotion contenders.
Burnley are also in the mix, having scored nine goals in their first two matches. They were dominant early on, thrashing Luton 4-1 and Cardiff 5-0, but a defeat to league leaders Sunderland, who have won four in a row, was a setback. The draw against Blackburn felt like a missed chance to grab another win.
With Leeds in fine form, Burnley will face a tough challenge at Elland Road, where the hosts have proven difficult to break down.
Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 Burnley
