Leeds Preview

The Clarets are off to Leeds tonight to face a side that has certainly seen better days. Burnley have lost the last 2 league games and will be looking to put that right at Elland Road.

Much has been made of the plight of Leeds United over the last couple of seasons and there is no doubt that the season so far is not going to plan. Despite being one of the biggest spenders in the division over the Summer the Yorkshire club have struggled so far and are only above the Clarets on goal difference.

Steve Cotterill has some really injury concerns ahead of the game tonight with Danny Coyne, Graham Branch and Jean-Louis Valois all doubtful. Richard Chaplow is still returning back towards full fitness so its likely that James O'Connor will start the game. If Coyne is ruled out then Brian Jensen will play in goal and Richard Duffy is likely to feature if either Branch or Valois miss the game.

Sean Gregan is the main injury doubt for Leeds so Jermaine Wright may replace him in the midfield. Otherwise it is likely to be the same team that were beaten by Wigan on Saturday.

Any Burnley fan wishing to attend the game tonight who hasn't already got a ticket needs to ring 0845 121 1992. These tickets can then picked up at Elland Road prior to kick-off.
