Championship 2024-2025: Burnley-Leeds, the likely lineups

Burnley-Leeds, the probable formations

The match, scheduled for Monday, Jan. 27, at 9 p.m., will be a high-ranking challenge between Burnley and Leeds, two of the main candidates for direct promotion to the Premier League. The visiting team leads the standings with 59 points, heeled by Sheffield United at 58, while Burnley follows at 56, ready to take advantage of the home factor to shorten the gap. The hosts arrive charged up after a clear 5-0 thrashing of Plymouth, while Farke’s team will rely on the quality of Daniel James and Piroe.

Parker will aim for a 4-2-3-1 with Roberts and Pires acting as full-backs and Trafford between the posts. The spotlight will be on Josh Brownhill, a trequartista with 9 goals and close to double figures on the season. Completing the offensive department will be Anthony and Foster, who will move behind Flemming's only point.

Farke’s team will take the field with a 4-2-3-1, where Gnonto will start from the bench to leave room for the trio Aaronson, Solomon and Daniel James behind bomber Piroe, already with 10 goals and 5 assists. Tanaka and Rothwell are confirmed in the midfield, while Ampadu stands out in defense, flanked by Rodon.
