Confirmed team news for key PL clash

Confirmed team news for key PL clash


Leeds United can move to the cusp of confirming their Premier League status next season with a win over relegated Burnley at Elland Road.

Daniel Farke’s side, beaten by Chelsea in their FA Cup semi-final last Sunday, return to league action with a chance to move nine points clear of the bottom three.

Burnley already know they will be playing Championship football next season, but will aiming to salvage some pride at the end of the week that saw manager Scott Parker leave the club.
