Leeds United fancied for Burnley triumph as pundits cast their predictions

Leeds United are aiming to build on last weekend's fantastic victory over Tottenham Hotspur with another three-point haul against Burnley.

The Whites head to Turf Moore with one defeat in their last eight Premier League outings, following the 3-1 triumph over Spurs at Elland Road.

The trip to Lancashire will be Leeds' penultimate away game of the campaign, with a midweek trip to St Mary's upcoming on Tuesday night, before the club round off the campaign against West Brom in front of supporters at Elland Road.

Ahead of Saturday's clash with the Clarets, various media pundits and former Leeds players have predicted the outcome of the game, which LeedsLive have rounded up right here.

Mark Lawrenson - BBC Sport

Burnley made sure of their safety, and relegated Fulham at the same time, with their win at Craven Cottage on Monday. I never really felt the Clarets were ever in serious danger of the drop, though.

Because they know they are staying up, Sean Dyche's side might be more open than usual here - this game has an 'end of season' feel to it.

Leeds will definitely go for it again though. They were very impressive in their win over Tottenham last time out, and in control for most of it.

Prediction: Burnley 1-2 Leeds

Michael Owen - BetVictor

Leeds travel to Burnley fresh from their 3-1 victory at home to Spurs last Saturday. It was a typical Leeds performance as they ran the legs off their North London rivals.

Burnley landed the final nail in Fulham’s coffin midweek with a 2-0 win at Craven Cottage. They soaked up the Fulham pressure and were clinical on the counter. Winning these types of matches is something we’ve become accustomed to from Sean Dyche’s side over the years, and back on home soil, I think they’ll carry that good form into to this match.

It’s either feast or famine with Leeds, and like what happened in their recent match against Brighton, I think they’ll come unstuck here.

Prediction: Burnley 1-0 Leeds

Vinnie Jones - Easy Odds

The former Leeds United midfielder has backed his side for three points at Turf Moor.
