Burnley host Leeds United in a Saturday clash at Turf Moor, with both sides aiming to achieve the same goal for the season - survival - a win on Saturday seems a must for both Scott Parker and Daniel Farke, both sets of fans will settle for nothing less.
It's safe to say that Burnley have struggled so far this campaign, only managing to pick up 1 win from their first 7 games and achieving only 4 points from a possible 21. However, Parker's side have had an extremely tough start, facing 4 of the 'Big Six' as well as Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest. There's no easy games in the Premier League, but games against fellow relegation favourites, especially at home, have to be wins if you want to stay in this league for next season.
Leeds United have achieved 8 points from a possible 21 so far this season - which they will feel like it should have been 10, but conceded in the dying seconds against Bournemouth in which resulted in a 2-2 draw. Most recently, Leeds United lost their first game at Elland Road in over a year against Tottenham, where they lost 2-1, but had plenty of chances to win the game for themselves.
Burnley
Scott Parker's side will be without three players for the match on Saturday, Connor Roberts (Knee), Jordan Beyer (Knee) and Zeki Amdouni (Cruciate Ligament injury) have missed all Premier League games so far this season due to their respective injuries.
Leeds United
Daniel Farke's side will likely be without two players with both Daniel James (Physical discomfort) and Wilfried Gnonto (Calf) doubtful. There's a slight belief that they could make the matchday squad, however, at this moment it's looking unlikely.
Likely Line-Ups
Burnley (5-4-1)

Leeds United (4-3-3)

Key Players
Burnley - Jaidon Anthony
Jaidon Anthony currently has four Premier League goals and 1 assist to his name and will be vitally important to Burnley getting win at Turf Moor this weekend.
With his high energy and work rate the Englishman will be incredibly important on counter attacks with his direct running and pace. Jaindon Anthony creates plenty of chances for his teammates and will shoot on sight if left with enough room - in fact - Jaidon Anthony has been directly involved in 34% of Burnley's shots this season, the second-highest ratio in the Premier League behind only Erling Haaland.

Leeds United - Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Calvert-Lewin hasn't exactly hit the ground running for Leeds United so far, only scoring once this campaign, However, this is the exact type of game that he has been brought in for, important games against fellow relegation favourites where they need goals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has shown throughout his career that he can score goals and has in fact scored 4 goals in his career against Burnley - he has only scored more goals against 3 other sides in his career. Saturday's match is as important as it gets, the perfect chance for Calvert-Lewin to become a fan favourite.
