Two sides desperate for a morale-boosting win square off on Sunday as Leeds United play host to Burnley at the Elland Road Stadium.
While the visitors have two games in hand, they are currently five points behind the hosts at the wrong end of the Premier League table.
Leeds United’s woeful run continued two Saturdays ago as they fell to a humbling 4-1 defeat against Arsenal.
The Peacocks have lost their last three games, including a 7-0 hammering at the hands of Manchester City on 14 December.
