Leeds United vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news
Leeds United vs Burnley – Predicted lineup and team news Leeds United face Burnley, aiming to rediscover their scoring touch to finalise their Premier League survival on Friday. Daniel Farke’s men have reached 40 points but likely need one more victory to secure safety. Leeds are currently enjoying a five-match unbeaten run in the top flight.
They have been dominant against relegated opposition, winning five in a row by an 18–3 aggregate. That said, they have failed to score in three consecutive league games against the Clarets. Breaking the cup disappointment quickly is essential to avoid any final-day relegation nerves.
Farke believes his squad will take positives from their hard-fought performance against Chelsea. A win tonight moves the Peacocks closer to a calm end to the season. Leeds United team news Gabriel Gudmundsson is a confirmed absentee after picking up a hamstring injury at Wembley.
He suffered the blow during the narrow FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea. In his absence, Farke must reshuffle his defensive options to contain the visitors. Jaka Bijol and Noah Okafor both face late fitness tests before the Elland Road clash.
The pair sustained knocks during the cup battle but hope to feature tonight. Farke is optimistic the duo can play despite their recent physical struggles. Joe Rodon and Anton Stach provide vital depth as Leeds chase a calm finish.
