THE PREDICTION
An intriguing battle of attack vs defence awaits here as the ball playing, fast attacking Leeds Utd take on the aerially proficient, defensively drilled Burnley. A bigger clash of styles will be hard to find in this season’s Premier League but make no mistake, both teams are excellent at what they do and have reaped the rewards under Marcelo Bielsa and Sean Dyche respectively. Games involving Leeds have seen plenty of entertainment this season with the Whites conceding the most of any Premier League side so far with 30 goals shipped already, but also 24 goals scored which is a full 16 more than the Clarets. Despite Burnley’s expected attempts to remain compact and prevent the game from flowing freely, another exciting encounter looks on the cards at Elland Road and whilst the result itself could go either way, both teams to score should be seriously considered.
