Leeds vs Burnley Preview

Two clubs with ambitions of winning promotion to the Premier League clash in Yorkshire on Saturday. Leeds (4th), who missed out in the play-off final last season, have started the new season with two wins and two draws. The two victories have come in their last two games, both of which have been wins to nil against Sheffield Wednesday and Hull.

Burnley sit a point and two places behind in 7th with a return of seven points from four games. Scott Parker's men steamed out of the blocks with back-to-back thrashings of Luton (4-1) and Cardiff City (5-0), however, they have since slipped to defeats to Sunderland (league) and Wolves (cup), followed by a draw with fierce rivals Blackburn.

BetMGM have handed Leeds odds of 13/20 to record their third straight win, Burnley are available at 15/4 to bounce back with three points, while a draw can be backed at 3/1.

When looking at the 'Player Top Be Carded' market my attention was immediately drawn to Lyle Foster at 13/2 with BetMGM, a huge price when compared to 23/10 with William Hill and 5/2 with Sky Bet.

The Burnley forward has already picked up there yellows this season, each of which have come in successive league games against Cardiff, Sunderland, and Blackburn. On top of that, he's racked up four fouls in each of his last two appearances.

No Championship player has received more yellows this season than Foster, who was red carded this time last year against Nottingham Forest, and in a spicy clash at Elland Road he looks like the value bet to stretch this run to four straight games in the referee's book.

Given Foster is such an appealing price to add another yellow card to his collection, I've teamed this up with a goal for the Burnley man to form a tasty 40/1 bet builder with BetMGM.

This exact bet landed in Foster's last outing in the 1-1 draw against Blackburn, in a game he will have taken huge confidence from after he opened his account for the season with a superb header which won him Burnley's Goal of the Month gong for August.

Leeds at Elland Road will be one of Burnley's toughest trips of the season, yet Foster has the all round link play, sharpness, and physicality to cause the home defence all sorts of problems, while his feisty side means a booking is always on the cards.
