Hide AdUnited's destiny will be back in their own hands should the Clarets fail to pick up a point at Villa Park.
In that event, a final day win at Brentford would definitely leave Leeds safe.
But even a point for Burnley would leave the Whites back in the bottom three and with a far inferior goal difference to both the Clarets and Toffees.
That would mean Leeds would be relying on results elsewhere on Sunday, even in the event of taking a point or better against the Bees.

How it all currently stands
Third-bottom Burnley are away at Aston Villa in an 8pm kick-off whilst Everton are at home to Crystal Palace in a match starting at 7.45pm.
United’s destiny will be back in their own hands should the Clarets fail to pick up a point at Villa Park.

Burnley are at home to Newcastle United on the final day whereas Frank Lampard’s Toffees are away at Arsenal.
Everton situation
Two points from their last two games would leave Everton safe - even if Leeds and Burnley both take maximum points - because of the wretched Whites goal difference. Four points are needed by Burnley, even if Leeds win at Brentford, that would see them safe. In short, tonight is huge.
