Leeds United vs Aston Villa, Elland Road, December 28

Aston Villa are doing well under manager Steven Gerrard. The Villans are playing attacking football and are picking up wins.

In our view, this game at Elland Road is going to be a cracker. We know about the rivalry that Leeds and Villa have had in recent years.

“Playing at home will give the Whites an advantage, and they could just about eke out a win.

Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 Aston Villa

Leeds United vs Burnley, Elland Road, January 2

Like Leeds, Burnley are also in danger of getting relegated to the Championship.

“Sean Dyche’s side are not a particularly great team to watch, and Leeds will feel that with their running and athleticism, they could overpower them.

“This is a game that both teams will be determined to win. Leeds are likely to edge out Burnley.

Prediction: Leeds United 2-0 Burnley
