Leeds United has mostly adopted the 4-1-4-1 line-up most used during the season (6 times or 33.33%).

Overall, it adopted the following line-ups: 4-1-4-1 (6 times), 3-3-3-1 (5 times), 4-2-3-1 (4 times), 4-3-1-2 (once), 3-4-3 (once) and 4-4-1-1 (once).

Marcelo Alberto Bielsa Caldera is expected to play against Burnley with the following players: I. Meslier, L. Ayling, H. Firpo Adames, S. Dallas, M. Klich, A. Forshaw, T. Roberts, R. Dias Belloli and J. Gelhardt.

Presuming that this will be the line-up, the average age of Leeds United would be 26.89.

There are doubts about the presence of J. Harrison.

Marcelo Alberto Bielsa Caldera will probably not be able to employ D. Llorente Ríos, J. Shackleton, P. Struijk, P. Bamford, D. James and R. Moreno Machado because of injury.

L. Cooper, C. Cresswell and K. Phillips will definitely miss the match.
