After a summer of rumours, Leeds’ season finally gets underway as we host Burnley at Elland Road. It’s a day we’ve all been craving since the end of last season and it’s almost here. We look ahead to the game with some stats from previous encounters as well as a look at the two potential line-ups.

The visitors

    Recently relegated from the Premier League, Burnley come into the new season without their top scorer from last season in Danny Ings – who made his move to Liverpool this summer. Winger Ross Wallace and former captain Jason Shackell also departed the clarets. Incomings include Jelle Vossen, who was on loan at Middlesbrough last season; Chris Long from Everton and Tendayi Darikwa – who Leeds were briefly linked with this summer – from Chesterfield. How will they fair? Well usually relegated teams seem to struggle in their first season in the Championship but they’ve got plenty of experience and I’d expect them to challenge for the top 6 at least.
