Leeds vs Burnley prediction 01.05.2026 | English Premier League

Leeds come into this game after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, a result that ended their hopes of silverware but showed they remain competitive against top opposition. In league action, their recent form has been mixed but respectable, with three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five matches across all competitions. 

At Elland Road, Leeds have been relatively strong this season. Across 17 league home games, they have accumulated 26 points, which was nearly double of their total points tally when compared to performances on the road.

Players such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor have been central to their attacking output, while Joel Piroe remains a threat in the final third. Daniel Farke may rotate slightly after the Wembley defeat to Chelsea, but Leeds should still field a strong XI with survival not yet mathematically secured.

There are no major fresh injury concerns reported, although fatigue could be a factor after the FA Cup semi-final just days earlier.

Burnley’s relegation was confirmed following a 1-0 home defeat to Manchester City last week. Scott Parker’s side battled hard but once again lacked cutting edge in attack and have now gone five matches without a win. Their recent run includes four consecutive league defeats in recent weeks with no real improvement in any areas of their game.

Injuries and lack of squad depth have hurt Burnley throughout the campaign, and Parker may use the final few matches to assess fringe players ahead of a likely Championship rebuild.
