Leeds look to stop the rot at promotion favourites Burnley.

Leeds travel to Burnley on Saturday in search of their first victory in five games. The Whites have been on the end of back to back thrashings at the hands of Bolton and Reading in their last two games and manager Brian McDermott is looking to Saturday's game to stop the rot. 

In their last two at Elland Road, Leeds have conceded nine goals, finding the back of the net just three times themselves. A 5-1 thumping by Bolton followed by a 4-2 defeat to Reading has left McDermott calling for stability at the club. 

The controversies surrounding the ownership of Leeds United as well as a run of just two wins in the last 15 has led to a growing frustration among fans. Prospective owner Massimo Cellino revealed he is losing his patience with the Football League with regards to the takeover and he has already injected a reported £10 million to keep the club afloat. 

Burnley are on top form heading into the game and have recently picked up a victory at their most hated rivals Blackburn for the first time in 35 years. The Clarets are on course for automatic promotion and are currently eight points above nearest rivals Derby.  

Forward pair Sam Vokes and Danny Ings have netted 38 goals between them so far this season making them the second highest scoring partnership in the country, only behind Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez. 

Manager Sean Dyche has claimed his side aren't thinking about promotion despite their league position and insists his players need to remain calm and see out their remaining fixtures. 

Burnley have already picked up three points from Leeds this season when they won 2-1 at Elland Road in September. Following their thrilling 3-3 draw at Birmingham on Wednesday, in which they conceded in the fourth minute of added time, the Clarets will be hoping to get back to winning ways when Leeds come to town on Saturday. 

Loan signing Connor Wickham is yet to find the back of the net in a Leeds shirt despite scoring regularly for fellow Yorkshire side, Sheffield Wednesday. The striker on loan from Sunderland hasn't scored in three appearances for the Whites but Matt Smith has bagged two goals in his last two games meaning we may see him return to the starting 11. 

McDermott made numerous changes to the side that lost to Bolton, including the return of Jason Pearce and Sam Byram. However the changes had little impact as the Whites defensive woes continued in the 4-2 defeat to Reading. 

Burnley head into the game having not lost a league game at home all season. Sean Dyche's men have lost just 3 league games this campaign and will be hoping his side can do the double over Leeds to further strengthen their grip on the second automatic promotion spot. The in-form side haven't lost a league game since defeat at Middlesbrough on Boxing Day and haven't lost in the Championship at Turf Moor since defeat to Hull in March, 2013. 

Leeds are unbeaten in their last two away games but have failed to take advantage against two sides struggling for results. A goalless draw at Middlesbrough and a disappointing 1-1 draw at QPR means the Whites have picked up just five league victories away from Elland Road all season.
