LEEDS and Burnley will go into the final day with their Premier League futures on the line.
Both clubs are locked on 35 points as we enter the final weekend of the campaign, where the Whites travel to Brentford and Burnley host Newcastle.
Leeds are only in their second season back in the Premier League, following an 18-year absence while struggling in the Championship.
They fired coach Marcelo Bielsa in March and replaced him with American Jesse Marsch.
But he couldn’t stop the side from collapsing in the last three.
Similarly, Burnley sacked Sean Dyche last month, after ten years at the club.

Leeds boast the likes of England international Kalvin Phillips, Brazilian sensation Rafinha and Patrick Bamford.
So it looks like they have enough on them to stay awake.
While Burnley are seasoned professionals at staying in the league, they have been doing so since 2016 on a shoestring budget.
But better teams have fallen, as the list below shows.

Newcastle – 2008-09
THE 2008-09 season was a complete disaster for the Toon.
When they were relegated, Newcastle had seen FOUR different managers put together only seven wins.
Kevin Keegan, Joe Kinnear, Chris Hughton and club legend Alan Shearer took charge of the club.
But it was Shearer, who vowed to keep the Magpies on top, who oversaw the eventual and somewhat inevitable demise, finishing 18th just one point from surviving.
For a team the size of Newcastle and with a squad that included Michael Owen, Damien Duff, Nicky Butt, Obafemi Martins, José Enrique, Joey Barton and Mark Viduka, playing in the Championship was completely strange.
They would go on to win the league and return straight to the Premier League, but for such a strong team to go down was remarkable.
