Leeds United v Burnley: Premier League – live

Leeds make three changes from their FA Cup semi-final defeat. Karl Darlow, Joe Rodon and Anton Stach replace Lucas Berri, the injured Gabriel Gudmundsson and Brenden Aaronson.

Burnley’s caretaker manager Mike Jackson names an unchanged side.

Leeds (3-4-2-1) Darlow; Rodon, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Justin; Stach, Okafor; Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Perri, Byram, Bornauw, Longstaff, Aaronson, James, Gnonto, Piroe, Nmecha.

Burnley (3-4-2-1) Dubravka; Ekdal, Humphreys, Esteve; Walker, Ward-Prowse, Laurent, Hartman; Tchaouna, Anthony; Flemming.

Subs: Weiss, Worrall, Ugochukwu, Edwards, Florentino, Pires, Amdouni, Broja, Hannibal.

Referee Thomas Bramall.

The equation is simple. If Leeds beat relegated – and now managerless - Burnley at Elland Road on Friday they will reach 43 points and be extremely unlikely to meet the same fate as their opponents. Daniel Farke’s losing FA Cup semi-finalists are then scheduled to travel to Tottenham, but victory against Burnley, who they pipped to the Championship title last season, would settle nerves in West Yorkshire. Farke, though, does not necessarily expect a straightforward match.

“There’s definitely no complacency,” he said, speaking before the news of Scott Parker’s departure. “I’ve got so much respect for Scott. I’d say there’s not one time this season Burnley were played off the field. They’re always very competitive, they’ve had many tight games.” As Mike Jackson takes caretaker charge at Turf Moor, Farke hopes another three points will persuade Leeds to extend his own contract.

This feels like the night Leeds should all but confirm a second year in the Premier League. Burnley are already relegated and without a manager; if they cannot beat them at home, it would be a desperate shame for Daniel Farke and his side, especially after the disappointment of losing to Chelsea in the FA Cup.

The hosts should be up and at Burnley, testing their frailties at the back and in midfield. When Leeds are at their peak, few can cope with the tempo and physicality they offer, and the Clarets fall into that category.
