    Leeds v Man City (17:30 BST)

    After taking one point out of a possible 24, Leeds are unbeaten in five games under Jesse Marsch (W3, D2).

    They last went six matches without defeat in March and April last year, a run which included a 2-1 victory against Manchester City.

    They are looking to record three consecutive top-flight clean sheets for the first time since August 2002. The third game of that sequence was a 3-0 home win against City.

    Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis, Nielsen Gracenote:"Manchester City remain favourites to win this season's Premier League according to the Euro Club Index (www.euroclubindex.com, external). Our simulations give City the title in 57% of seasons with Liverpool winning it in the other 43%."

    Leeds v Man City (17:30 BST)

    City can claim three consecutive Premier League victories for the first time in 2022 (only counting games that happened this year).

    Manchester City's only away league loss this season was a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham on the opening weekend. They have won 12 and drawn three of 15 matches on the road since then.

    City are aiming to record five consecutive clean sheets in away league games for the first time in their history.

    Some people are looking at this as a banana skin for the leaders, but I don't see it that way.

    Leeds still only play one way. I know Jesse Marsch has changed it a little bit since replacing Marcelo Bielsa as manager in February but they are still hyper-intensive, and still work really hard.

    I think City are too good for that to work against them, and it doesn't help that Leeds really lack a striker while Patrick Bamford is out. I can see Pep Guardiola's side keeping them at arm's length, and just picking them off.

    City's biggest win of the season so far came when they beat Leeds 7-0 at Etihad Stadium in December. We won't see the same scoreline on Saturday, but they should still control the game and win comfortably.

    Lawro's prediction: 0-2

    The freedom starts to come after a win or two and you start to realise you are decent players.

    Mike Jackson deserves great credit, it is the Crewe footballing education he has had.

    It is leadership from all angles, they are all in together. It is amazing how winning does things to you. Everton have got a mountain to climb.

    FT: Wolves 0-3 Brighton

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton manager Graham Potter to Match of the Day: "The overall performance was very impressive. To score three away from home, especially at Wolves, is fantastic.

    "The personality of the players and team, everything about the performance I liked.

    "We have had some good away days this year. That was up there. The second half display was up another level I think from the first. The boys looked hungry to score and enthusiastic to get forward."

    On Alexis Mac Allister's two penalties: "We were just recovering from the first penalty. It says a lot about him that he has the personality and character again to execute the same penalty. The pressure was on him and delivered.

    "Enock Mwepu went off. I can't say anything really. I think fatigue and he felt his groin but we have to wait 24-48 hours."

    Burnley goalscorer Jack Cork, speaking to Match of the Day: "It is a massive part of this club that when things aren't going our way we pull together, it has not just been these past few weeks. We never gave up and were probably the better team in the second half.

    "Over the moon, it has been a great week for us and hopefully we keep it going. I am just happy for everyone, it has been a tough couple of weeks - the stuff with the manager, Ashley Westwood's injury - we've all pulled together.

    "We had some great fans today, full credit to them, they have been amazing. He (Mike Jackson) pulled us all together and reminded us how good we are.

    "We have Everton and Leeds behind us - we cannot afford to take our foot off the pedal, we really need to keep pushing on and use this momentum to keep going."

    It took Burnley a while to find their feet, but it always felt they were knocking on the door.

    Burnley's fans stayed for 20 minutes to sing 'Super Mike Jackson. He has united a football club. He has tweaked Burnley's idenity. he has given the players more time on the ball, maybe they aren't playing under such direct instruction and they feel happier for that.

    Burnley

    Burnley interim boss Mike Jackson, speaking to Match of the Day: "We are delighted with the result and the second-half performance, first half we were not where we needed to be. We knew at 1-0 the crowd might get a bit edgy and if we stick with it and get more possession we could get a back in the game

    "I don't think we started the game well enough, the tempo we started at, we didn't get to those levels we have done recently - we improved the quality with the ball, at this stage of the season you just have to find ways of winning games.

    "These games are so emotionally charged with what is at stake, credit to them for finding a way to win the game.

    "We just reminded the group who they are, there was a lot of good work before, so for me it is reminding this group who they are and making sure they deliver on the standards they are capable of.

    "When I get on the train later on and maybe have a glass of wine, I might take a breather and enjoy it."

    It is remarkable what Burnley are doing. For the first time in 66 attempts, Burnley have won when trailing at half time away from home in the Premier League.

    Burnley's survival bid goes from strength to strength. They pressed and pressed, and the freedom they play with now, is certainly telling.

    Mike Jackson is the first manager in Burnley's history in the top flight to ever start a reign like that.

    Brighton defender Lewis Dunk on reaching 44 points - their highest tally in the Premier League: "We performed well. We stopped what they are good at. We have to give credit to ourselves.

    "Keeping the ball, passing it, we used our midfielders well to switch the play and it worked.

    "It felt weird to score three, to get near the end of the game and be comfortable. It was a great away performance and we have record points in the Premier League now so we are buzzing.

    "It's a step in the right direction. At the start of the year we said the target was to beat last year. We have done it now. We had a rough patch but came out of the back of it. We are in a great position now."

    Are Leeds safe yet? Probably not.

    They are five points clear of Everton - who will have two games in hand on them tonight.

    There was so much riding on this game anyway but now the stakes are even higher given Liverpool's win at Newcastle United to return to the top of the table and another remarkable win for Burnley as they mount a relegation escape act.

    City have always responded well to either chasing or protecting a narrow lead but Leeds United now have even more incentive as they flirt with relegation.

    Elland Road is shaping up as the usual bearpit atmosphere.

    Burnley interim boss Mike Jackson: "We just improved from what we were doing in the first half, we didn't start as well as we could do, everybody needed to do more - if we lifted it 15-20% we thought we could get back in the game.

    "At this stage of the season it is just about finding ways to win games, and credit to them they've done that again.

    "We gave them something to get their teeth into and they built on that. We didn't play to the standards we have set ourselves recently, but in terms of the response, sometimes at this stage you can't ask for anymore - these games are so emotionally charged, you just have to find a way.

    "I don't know where it puts us, I don't look at the table - we just move on to the next one now."
