Burnley XI vs Leeds United – Predicted lineup and team news Burnley travel to Yorkshire tonight looking to restore pride under new interim manager Mike Jackson. The club confirmed Scott Parker’s departure on Thursday following a difficult run of form. Jackson will now lead the squad for the final four matches of the campaign.
Relegation was mathematically confirmed last weekend during a narrow defeat to title-chasing Manchester City. Despite that 1–0 loss, the Clarets put in an impressive performance at the back. They are currently on a nine-game winless run across all competitions.
That said, they could still complete a rare league double over the Whites. This marks only the sixth time Leeds have faced a relegated side in the Premier League. Jackson hopes his team can play with freedom now that the pressure is off.
Burnley team news Mike Jackson must navigate several selection headaches before his first game in charge. Hannibal Mejbri, Axel Tuanzebe, and Zeki Amdouni all face late fitness tests today. They picked up thigh, calf, and knee knocks, respectively, against Manchester City.
