Two teams playing for nothing but pride in the Premier League look to string a series of successive victories. Burnley welcomes Leeds United at the Turf Moor with a kickoff at 2:30 pm.
The Clarets got assurance for their stay next season in England’s top-flight following a 2-0 win over Fulham. On the other hand, Leeds United put up a show in a 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspurs to move up to 10th.
Even though it was not a worry with relegation woes, Sean Dyche cherishes the relief in knowing their camp became safe from relegation. Ashley Westwood and Chris Wood came on target at Craven Cottage to plunge Fulham into relegation.
Furthermore, it marks the first time in the Premier League history that all three relegation spots come decided with as many as three games left to play. As a result, the highest possible spot that Dyche can attain in the league is 12th.
Additionally, the Clarets have won none of their last eight matches at Turf Moor. It makes up their longest home winless run in the English top flight.
On the other hand, Leeds United come off a loss in their last outing on the road following a 2-0 defeat to Brighton. Marcelo Bielsa’s men have been on top form while winning four, drawing three, and one loss in their last eight matches.
