Leeds United will be searching for a third successive Championship win when they visit Burnley on Monday evening. It promises to be a stern examination of the Whites' title credentials as the Clarets boast the best defensive record in the division.

Burnley, the only team to have beaten United at Elland Road this term, enter the top-of-the-table clash on the back of a resounding 5-0 win at Plymouth Arygle. Scott Parker's troops sit third in the standings. They are unbeaten in their past 15 matches (W9 D6) and have so far recorded a whopping 19 clean sheets in their pursuit of a top-two finish. Victory in Monday's televised encounter will move them level on points with the Whites.

Will there be a twist in the battle to go up? Bookies Betfred have priced United as the 1/33 favourites to be promoted to the Premier League and believe they are the 1/3 favourites to win the title.
