Burnley can win four consecutive matches against Leeds United at Turf Moor for the first time.

Chris Wood is Burnley’s top PL scorer at Turf Moor, netting 23 goals in 60 appearances. He also scored 44 goals in 88 appearances in all competitions for Leeds between 2015 and 2017. He netted in his only previous appearance against the Whites at Turf Moor, in a League Cup tie in September 2017.

Leeds are looking for a first clean sheet in 10 PL away matches. Only Sheffield United are on a longer current run without one (22 matches).

Patrick Bamford has scored in three PL matches this season against sides he has formerly played for in the competition, netting in both meetings with Crystal Palace and in the reverse fixture against Burnley. The only two players to score in four such matches in a season are Craig Bellamy in 2008/09 and Peter Crouch in 2013/14.
