Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has some tough decisions to make ahead of his side’s battle with Burnley.
Premier League survival is very much in sight but failure to defeat Burnley could spark some worry among the Elland Road faithful.
Leeds currently sit 15th in the Premier League table, six points clear of 18th-placed Tottenham Hotspur with four games left to play.
Burnley have already had their relegation confirmed and have won just four games all season, yet could benefit from ‘new manager bounce’ having installed Mike Jackson as Scott Parker’s temporary replacement.
Farke is not the type to regularly shuffle his pack, although he will have to do without his regular left wing-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. There are also doubts over the fitness of Jaka Bijol and Noah Okafor.
Leeds’ manager also has a clutch of players waiting in the wings, keen to play a role in the run-in, such as Sean Longstaff, Daniel James and Wilfried Gnonto.
The Yorkshire Post has predicted how Leeds will line up for their meeting with Burnley tonight (May 1).
