The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Leeds United and Burnley square off at Elland Road on Saturday. Having failed to win the last five meetings between the two sides, Scott Parker’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and end their three-game winless run.
Leeds United picked up consecutive wins for the first time this season when they edged out Hull City 2-0 just before the international break. This followed a 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough Stadium on August 23 which saw their three-game winless run come to an end.
Leeds United have picked up two wins and two draws in their four Championship matches so far to collect eight points and sit fourth in the table, level on points with fifth-placed Blackburn Rovers.
On the other hand, Burnley were left red-faced last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Blackburn Rovers at Turf Moor.
Parker’s men have failed to win their last three games across all competitions, picking up one draw and losing twice, including a 2-0 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Cup second round on August 28.
Having suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, Burnley have picked up seven points from their four Championship matches so far to sit sixth in the table and will look to find their feet this weekend.
