Team news & rosters

Position Burnley roster
Goalkeepers Pope, Hennessey, Norris
Defenders Lowton, Taylor, Tarkowski, Mee, Collins, Pieters, Bardsley, Thomas, Dodgson
Midfielders Cork, Gudmundsson, Brownhill, McNeil, Lennon, Westwood, Richardson
Forwards Wood, Barnes, Rodriguez, Vydra

The hosts made history with their trip to Anfield last weekend, becoming the first side this century to name a sequential squad number first XI in a 4-4-2 formation - but they only got their first win of the term the game after with a Carabao Cup shootout win over Newcastle.

Sean Dyche has seen his side have a bid for Lyon and Ivory Coast winger Maxwel Cornet accepted, but with a deal yet to be concluded, he will have to rely on what he has at his disposal this weekend, with Matej Vydra potentially back from injury. 

Predicted Burnley starting XI: Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor; Gudmundsson, Brownhill, Cork, McNeil; Wood, Barnes.

Position Leeds roster
Goalkeepers Meslier, Klaesson
Defenders Ayling, Firpo, Koch, Cooper, Llorente, Struijk, Cresswell, Drameh
Midfielders Forshaw, Dallas, Harrison, Phillips, Summerville, Klich, Shackleton
Forwards Bamford, Raphinha, Roberts, Costa, Rodrigo, Greenwood

Having delivered the antithesis of Bielsaball in their opening rout at the hands of Manchester United, the Whites have rebounded to take both their first point of the new Premier League season against Everton and earn a Carabao Cup win over Crewe Alexandra.

Marcelo Bielsa's men will be hopeful of earning their first top-flight victory of the new term at Turf Moor though - and with his maiden international call-up for England this week, Patrick Bamford will hope to both impress and come through unscathed against the Clarets.

Predicted Leeds starting XI:  Meslier; Ayling, Cooper, Llorente, Firpo; Phillips; Raphinha, Rodrigo, Klich, Harrison; Bamford.
