Leeds United squad revealed for Burnley with two players ruled out
The best attack in the Championship against the best defence. Something will have to give at Turf Moor tonight.
Table-topping Leeds United are undefeated in their past 10 matches (W7 D3). Back-to-back home wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City lifted the mood among the fan-base after frustrating draws with Blackburn Rovers and Hull City.
But Whites boss Daniel Farke accepts his team will have to be at their best to pick up a positive result away at third-placed Burnley. "This will be a complicated task, one of the toughest tasks that you can face - away game at Turf Moor against an in-form Burnley side," he said. "For that, we have to be at our best to give ourselves a chance. But we also know we are in good shape and we will travel in confidence. We all look forward to a good game."

Farke has no fresh injury concerns going into the top-of-the-table clash. Centre-back Pascal Struijk and striker Patrick Bamford (both hamstring) are ruled out.
There is a strong possibility Farke could name an unchanged starting XI for the third match running. He has an embarrassment of options in the wide areas, with Daniel James, Manor Solomon, Largie Ramazani and Wilfried Gnonto competing for two places. James has been a consistent performer on the right flank while Solomon has produced a number of impressive performances in recent weeks on the opposite flank.
Leeds United squad vs Burnley: Meslier, Darlow, Cairns, Bogle, Rodon, Debayo, Schmidt, Wober, Firpo, James, Gnonto, Gruev, Ampadu, Rothwell, Tanaka, Guilavogui, Solomon, Ramazani, Aaronson, Joseph, Piroe.
