No new injury problems for Burnley boss Sean Dyche against Leeds

Table-toppers Burnley are set to have an unchanged squad for Saturday's Sky Bet Championship home clash with Leeds.

Boss Sean Dyche has no fresh injury problems to contend with following the 0-0 draw with Cardiff on Tuesday.

Dyche has suggested long-term absentee Lukas Jutkiewicz, out since August with a knee issue, is unlikely to be ready to make his first-team return before the end of the season, but the striker was set for a run-out with the development squad on Friday.

Fellow frontman Chris Long has returned to training after a hamstring injury, but will also not be involved this weekend.

Leeds goalkeeper Marco Silvestri is expected to return to the starting line-up after missing Tuesday night's home draw against QPR due to a one-game ban. Teenager Bailey Peacock-Farrell is likely to return to the bench after making his debut in midweek.

Midfielder Liam Bridcutt is doubtful due to a thigh strain, while head coach Steve Evans must decide whether to recall Sol Bamba after illness or stick with Giuseppe Bellusci alongside Liam Cooper.

Bellusci could be rested following costly errors in Leeds' previous two matches.

Striker Souleymane Doukara sits out the third game of an eight-match ban for biting. Midfielders Toumani Diagouraga and Alex Mowatt, plus forward Mirco Antenucci are pushing for recalls.
