Leeds prepare to entertain Burnley at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Whites are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 5 of the 24 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Elland Road was just last season, in November 2005, with Leeds running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Championship match.
