Leeds United are looking to get back to winning ways on Friday, as they welcome Burnley to Elland Road.

The Whites fell to a disappointing defeat last Sunday, with Chelsea securing their spot in the FA Cup final with a 1-0 win at Wembley.

Daniel Farke‘s side simply did not show up under the arch after a string of fantastic performances since returning from the international break.

Sitting six points ahead of the drop zone, Leeds’ Premier League future is completely in their hands.

And as the West Yorkshire outfit could confirm safety when they host Burnley, who saw their relegation confirmed against Manchester City last week.

How to watch Leeds vs Burnley

Gaining promotion from the Championship last May, both Leeds and Burnley fought tooth and nail throughout the campaign, with the Whites the side to eventually be crowned champions.

However, the adaptation to Premier League life has been much harder for the Clarets, who had their relegation back to the Championship confirmed last week.

With the fixture selected for coverage by Sky, supporters not in attendance at Elland Road will be able to watch live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with Ultra HD options available with the appropriate hardware.

Fans on the move can stream the action through the Sky Go app, subject to subscription, as well as the Sky Sports website.

Leeds have chance to put Wembley heartbreak behind them

Sunday’s occasion was huge for Leeds, despite the result.

The simple fact of the matter is that it has been a fantastic campaign for the Whites, who are within touching distance of sealing their spot in the Premier League.

On Friday, the opportunity is there to do that, as they face their former promotion rivals, who have really struggled since promotion.

With four to go, Farke’s side carry a six-point cushion over the bottom three, which could be extended to nine should Tottenham fall to defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Wembley defeat does put a dampener on the mood, but the campaign itself has been a fantastic one for the West Yorkshire club, who used the FA Cup perfectly at times as they continued to build momentum for their survival push.

Now, the chance is there to go out on a high in the coming weeks, starting with the visit of Burnley.
