Preamble
Hello and welcome to live coverage of Leeds v Burnley from Elland Road. In different ways, these are two of the more admirable teams in the Premier League: Leeds for their idealistic, fairground-ride football, Burnley for their pragmatic overachievement. Sean Dyche’s side have recovered from a hideous start to the season, taking 11 points from six games, and look set to survive comfortably again.
If their curve is going up, Leeds’ season has been more like, well, a fairground ride: up and down until you feel sick with happiness. In their last two games they have won 5-2 and lost 6-2. They were spanked at Old Trafford last Sunday, yet still managed to cover themselves in glory with their relentless optimism going forward. They won’t change, we know that. Marcelo Bielsa, like Sean Dyche, is not for turning.
Kick off 12pm.
