While Chris Wood is Burnley’s all-time top scorer in the Premier League with 46 goals, he has only netted once in eight league appearances against his former club Leeds United, and is goalless in his last five against them. 

Burnley have won three of their last four home league matches against Leeds (L1), though that one defeat did come in this exact fixture last season (4-0).

Leeds have not drawn away from home in the Premier League since February 2004.  In 20 away matches in the competition under current head coach Marcelo Bielsa, they have won 10 and lost the other 10. 

Since Raphinha made his first Premier League start for Leeds in November 2020, no player has made more assists in the competition than the Brazilian's nine - the joint-most in this period along with Kevin De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandes. 

Match officials

Referee: Michael Oliver. Assistants: Stuart Burt, Simon Bennett. Fourth official: Craig Pawson. VAR: Chris Kavanagh. Assistant VAR: Sian Massey-Ellis.
