BUR vs LU Dream11: Burnley’s 0-2 victory away at Fulham this past Monday night secured themselves a sixth successive season in the Premier League, a magnificent achievement for the Clarets and manager Sean Dyche. They host a Leeds Utd side who have enjoyed a magnificent first season back in the top flight and will be full of confidence coming off the back of a 3-1 win at home to Tottenham. Marcelo Bielsa’s men have lost just one of their last eight league matches and appear determined to finish the season strongly as they target a top half finish. This could lead to an exciting contest here with home advantage in Burnley’s favour and Dyche perhaps more open in regards to giving his team less defensive responsibility and more license to roam forward with their safety secured.
Date: 15 May, Saturday Time: 5:00 PM (IST) Venue: Turf Moor, Burnley
