Leeds United remain at the top of the Championship but missed the chance to go four points clear after a bore draw against Burnley.

Both the Whites and the Clarets struggled to live up to the hype of the pre-match build-up in the first half at Turf Moor. Leeds enjoyed the better of the positive possession but failed to break down Scott Parker's resolute opponents.

It was more of the same in the second half, with neither side showing much promise going forward, albeit Dan James was denied late on by James Trafford. After a dull match in Lancashire, Leeds Live has taken a closer look at the next five Championship fixtures for the Whites as well as their promotion rivals.

Leeds' next five fixtures

Cardiff City (H) - February 1

Coventry City (A) - February 5

Watford (A) - February 11

Sunderland (H) - February 17

Sheffield United (A) - February 24

What Leeds Live says: There is no doubting that all eyes for the Whites will be on those last two fixtures. Both Sunderland and Sheffield United have the opportunity to scupper Leeds' promotion bid should they beat them. Fortunately, Leeds find themselves in a position of strength at the time of writing and can afford to settle for a point if they cannot secure all three. However, that will only be the case if they can pick up maximum points against Cardiff, Coventry and Watford. It is a tall order, but the expectations are high if United are to be back in the Premier League come the summer.
