• Home Record: 7-5-5

Daniel Farke will have a week to pick up his Leeds players following an FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea. However, plenty of positives can be taken from their recent form on the field, having won two of their last three clashes in the Premier League to move six points clear of the drop zone.

Home form has been one of Leeds United’s best assets in their battle to stay in the Premier League, losing just five of their 17 at Elland Road in 2025-26. Brenden Aaronson has been one of the most creative players in the team, with the American registering a team-high of five assists.

Gabriel Gudmundsson (Hamstring), Ilia Gruev (Knee)

Likely Line-Up:

(3-4-2-1): Darlow (GK); Justin, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Longstaff; Okafor, Aaronson; Calvert-Lewin

Burnley’s season-long stay in the Premier League has already come to an end, as their relegation to the Championship was confirmed last weekend. Questions are now being asked of Scott Parker’s long-term future at the club, with Steven Gerrard being lined up to replace the current head coach.

The Clarets have suffered defeats in each of their last four, and they have failed to score in four of their previous six in the Premier League. Zian Flemming has been a rare bright spark, scoring a team-high nine goals.

Leeds vs Burnley Prop Picks

American international Brenden Aaronson has been an integral player in the final third for Leeds, registering nine goal involvements in 27 starts. His recent form has also been excellent, recording two assists in his last four. Therefore, he could be the standout angle to score or assist against Burnley on Friday.
