"Heading into October's fortnight interval with a 2-1 loss away at Aston Villa, Scott Parker's side mark their return this weekend sat in the drop zone having collected just four points from their first seven Premier League appearances. Signing off September with a frantic 5-1 drumming against Manchester City, Saturday's hosts have lost their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 9-3. Suffering their own EFL Cup exit at the hands of Championship outfit Cardiff on September 23rd, Burnley have also failed to win any of their last six outings (five defeats, one draw)."
"As for the visitors, while Leeds might have laid down a real marker on September 20th as they secured a thrilling 3-1 victory away at Wolves, Daniel Farke's side have failed to find any real stability since making their Premier League return. Last seen heading into October's fortnight interval with a 2-1 defeat at home against Tottenham, Saturday's guests have mustered just a single win from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions."
Burnley sit in the Premier League relegation zone with four points from seven matches and have lost three consecutive games across all competitions, conceding nine goals in that run. The Clarets suffered a 5-1 defeat to Manchester City, exited the EFL Cup at Cardiff, and have failed to win any of their last six outings (five defeats, one draw), shipping 15 league goals so far. Leeds earned a 3-1 win at Wolves but remain unstable, with just one victory in seven matches and a recent 2-1 home loss to Tottenham. Both sides face a pivotal relegation six-pointer at Turf Moor.
