Burnley make their return from the international break with a Premier League showdown against Leeds United at Turf Moor on Saturday.
All four of the Clarets’ league points so far have come on home soil, and they’ll be eager to keep that momentum rolling as they welcome a spirited Leeds outfit to Lancashire. Scott Parker’s men are still licking their wounds after a narrow 2-1 defeat at Aston Villa, which came hot on the heels of a humbling 5-1 loss to Manchester City. Earlier, a frustrating 1-1 draw away to a struggling Nottingham Forest felt more like two points squandered than one earned.
Leeds, meanwhile, head into the weekend looking to bounce back from a 2-1 setback against Tottenham before the international pause, a contest in which they held their own for large stretches. The Whites impressed with their rapid attacking transitions and clever buildup play but ultimately lacked the clinical edge to turn their chances into goals.

Burnley vs. Leeds predicted lineups, team news
Burnley’s injury woes continue to mount, with several key names still sidelined. The biggest setback remains the absence of forward Zeki Amdouni, who is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury and isn’t expected back until the turn of the year. Defender Jordan Beyer is also out for the long haul.
On a brighter note, both Jaidon Anthony and Connor Roberts are edging closer to full fitness and could feature among the substitutes if deemed ready, though their inclusion remains touch-and-go.
Burnley predicted starting XI (5-4-1, right to left): Dubravka (GK) — Walker, Laurent, Ekdal, Esteve, Hartman — Tchaouna, Cullen, Luis, Anthony — Foster
Injured: Beyer, Amdouni
Suspended: None
Leeds United, meanwhile, have fitness concerns of their own. Winger Daniel James is ruled out until late November due to an ankle problem, depriving the team of one of their key attacking outlets. However, there’s a silver lining as Wilfried Gnonto has shaken off his injury and is set to return to the matchday squad, most likely starting on the bench.
Goalkeeper Lucas Perri has also resumed training, but given Karl Darlow’s strong performances in recent outings, he’s expected to keep his spot as the starting keeper for now.
Leeds predicted starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): Darlow (GK) — Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson — Ampadu, Stach, Longstaff — Okafor, Aaronson, Calvert-Lewin
Injured:
Suspended: None
