Leeds can all-but-secure another season in the Premier League if they can defeat already-relegated Burnley on Friday at Elland Road.

Leeds United are on the brink of securing their Premier League survival, and a win against already-relegated Burnley at Elland Road on Friday would all but guarantee another season in the top flight. It's a high-stakes clash with plenty of drama to unpack.

Kick-off is set for 3pm ET, and you can catch all the action live on USA Network or stream it online. The atmosphere in Beeston, West Yorkshire, is sure to be electric as Daniel Farke's side looks to put the final nail in Burnley's coffin.

After a rocky start that saw Leeds drop to 18th by the end of November, the team has turned things around impressively. Since December, they've compiled a solid record of six wins, 11 draws, and just four losses, lifting them six points clear of the relegation zone. That resilience is exactly what fans want to see in a club fighting to stay up.

Burnley, meanwhile, are playing their first match since their demotion to the Championship was confirmed following a loss to Manchester City. Manager Scott Parker now faces the challenge of rallying his squad, who sit just three points above bottom-placed Wolves. The Clarets will finish their season against those same Wolves on May 24, but for now, all eyes are on how they respond to the disappointment.

Leeds will be without Ilia Gruev (knee), while Gabriel Gudmundsson (thigh) is questionable. For Burnley, Josh Cullen (knee), Jordan Beyer (hamstring), and Connor Roberts (lower leg) are out, with Hannibal Mejbri (hamstring), Axel Tuanzebe (calf), and Zeki Amdouni (knee) all questionable.

On paper, desperation often tips the scales, but Burnley might play with a newfound freedom now that the pressure is off. However, they've been the league's worst defensive unit, and even Martin Dubravka's heroics in goal may not be enough to stop a motivated Leeds attack. Expect a determined home side to come out firing. Our prediction: Leeds 3-1 Burnley.
