All those points came from home games, including their first – and so far only – win against fellow promoted Sunderland in August. However, Burnley have since gone five Premier League games without a win, most recently defeat.1-2 against Aston Villabefore the international break.
Defense is a big concern as coach Scott Parker's team hasconceded 15 goalsafter just seven games – the second most in the league, behind only West Ham (16 goals). Remarkably, this figure is just less than exactlya tablecompared to their total goals conceded in…46 Championship games last season. In Football League history, only one team has ever conceded as many goals as they did in the entire previous season in the first eight games – Liverpool in 1894–95 (in just seven games).
Burnley also had problems controlling the game. They only had average possession.35.3%– the third lowest in the Premier League's Opta era (from 2003–04), only bettered by Cardiff City in 2018–19 (33.9%) and Sheffield United in 2023–24 (35.0%).
Burnley can take some confidence from their results against Leeds last season, though: they took four points from two games (1-0 away win, 0-0 home draw). At Turf Moor, Burnley also lost only1 in last 6 matchesmet Leeds in the league (won 3, drew 2).
TowardLeeds United, coach Daniel Farke's team is having a slightly better start, with8 pointsafter 7 games (2 wins, 2 draws, 3 losses) – double Burnley's points. However, they just lost1–2 against Tottenhamat home before the international break.
Leeds are currently 15th, four points ahead of Burnley – who are in 18th. They havelost 8 of the last 10 Premier League matchesbut conceded first (W1 D1), including 3 of 5 matches this season.
Farke admits Leeds are entering a “difficult period” where they will have toaway 3 out of next 4 gamesahead of the November break. The German also said he “doesn’t expect an easy minute” when facing Burnley this weekend.
Despite failing to score in either of their two Championship meetings with Burnley last season, Leeds only lost2 of the last 9 meetingsin all competitions (W4 D3). In the Premier League, they have lost only 1 of their last 6 encounters (W3 D2).
Following a 3-1 win over Wolves in September, Leeds are aiming totwo consecutive away wins in the Premier League for the first time since April 2022under Jesse Marsch. However, their away record remains worrying: just1 clean sheet in the last 24 matchesaway from home in the Premier League (0–0 draw with Newcastle in December 2022), and have conceded51 goalsin this chain.
