Preview Burnley Premier League, Aug 29, 2021
Preview Burnley returns behind a win over Newcastle United in Wednesday's EFL Cup fixture. After a goalless draw, the game came down to penalties, with the Clarets picking up a 4-3 win via the shootout. Last weekend, Burnley picked up a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on the second day of the season. Below-par, they had no answers to the questions the Reds posed. Diogo Jota (18') gave Liverpool the lead after an inch-perfect cross from Konstantinos Tsimikas picked him out in the box. Minutes later, Burnley were delighted to see Salah's goal ruled out by the flag. But lacking quality at the back, they eventually conceded. Razor-sharp, Sadio Mané (69') connected to the end of a deft assist by Salah for a fantastic half-volley. - A remarkable finish, to complement the remarkable assist. Left with defeat, Burnley remains in 17th place after two games: 0W, 0D & 2L. A victory over Leeds United on Sunday could signal a turn-around in their Premier League form ahead of the international break. Sean Dyche could pick the conventional 4—4—2 formation which could see Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez combining once more at the attacking end. Having no names on the squad's injury list, Sean Dyche will have a plethora of options for the selection.

Preview Leeds United fired three past Crewe Alexandra in Tuesday's EFL Cup. A goal from Kalvin Phillips (79') coupled with a brace from Jack Harrison (85' & 90') saw the Peacocks pick up the impressive win at Elland Road. Last weekend, Leeds United picked up a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Everton in the Premier League. - Coming back from behind, twice for the equalizer with goals from Mateusz Klich (41') and Raphinha (72').

For the upcoming fixture, Bielsa could adopt a 4—2—3—1 formation with Patrick Bamford leading the attack. The prolific forward earned a call-up to the English national team. There was an opportunity for us in the forward areas, said Gareth Southgate. His progress with Leeds has been excellent, the English national team coach added. A victory against Burnley could see Leeds take a step or two higher on the league table ahead of the international break. Leeds will face Liverpool right after the break on the 12th of September.
