Match preview

Disney films are all the rage at this time of the year and Sky Sports will be broadcasting a version of Beauty and the Beast when Leeds entertain Burnley at Elland Road.

At least that is the way some observers see gung-ho Leeds and defensively sound Burnley, with the Yorkshire outfit receiving more plaudits for their 6-2 defeat at Manchester United than Burnley got for a typically gritty 2-1 success over Wolves last time out.

Burnley have lost only one of their last seven Premier League games - a defeat at Manchester City - and it may therefore be a surprise for some to see Leeds at odds-on given United have lost three of their last four.

It's a tricky game to call given there is more potential in the Leeds side and both teams could be missing key players, but one influential performer almost certain to start is Patrick Bamford. He is the man most likely to break the deadlock.

Bamford has scored nine goals from open play this season and is right where he should be according to expected goals which is testament to his clever movement and how easily Marcelo Bielsa's side can create opportunities for their star striker.

Key stat

Premier League games involving Leeds are averaging 3.86 goals per match - only Liverpool matches averaged more going into this round of fixtures.
