Leeds United visit fellow newly-promoted side Burnley today in the first game back after the international break.
Leeds and Burnley will lock horns in a 3pm kick-off today in a clash which represents United’s first match against a fellow newly-promoted team of the 2025-26 campaign.
“I know that sounds really cliché and really boring but it's the truth! Obviously, it's a game that both teams will be looking to attack and try to win.
“I think it's just a game to look at with a lot of positivity and go there and try to take three points from it.
“It's about building and still trying to stick to our processes and hopefully that'll help us get the right outcome.”

“I think we should be on more points than we probably are on. Probably with the exception of Arsenal, I think we've been more than competitive in every single game we've played.

“So for us, I think it's nothing but positivity and excitement really going into the next set of games.”
