The frightening thing for Burnley is that Leeds is playing well.
They have not given up a goal in their past three home games and have won their last five games.
Conversely, Burnley has already drop a few point. With just 20 points, they were in 19th place, and a 1-0 loss to Manchester City sealed their doom. They are now just playing for pride after a difficult season.
