Leeds can all-but-secure another season in the Premier League if they can defeat already-relegated Burnley on Friday at Elland Road.
Daniel Farke's team have pulled it together after a rough stretch saw them go 18th by the end of November. Leeds have gone 6W-11D-4L since the calendar hit December are now six points clear of the bottom three.
WATCH — Leeds v Burnley
The visitors will be responding to the long-expected sealing of their demotion to the Championship, a loss to Manchester City at Turf Moor confirming their place in the bottom three.
There are a lot of questions about Burnley and boss Scott Parker and eyes will be on their reaction to the drop. The Clarets are three points above basement-dwelling Wolves and will play their fellow relegated side at Turf Moor to finish the season on May 24.

Leeds v Burnley prediction
Desperation is usually a tiebreaker but Burnley may also do what many just-relegated clubs do and play with freedom now that the burden's been lifted off them and their fate is definite. We're not sure, however, that Burnley have the attacking talent for freedom to make much of a difference because expecting a sudden uptick from the league's worst defensive unit — despite the best efforts of Martin Dubravka — is unrealistic. Leeds 3-1 Burnley.
