Leeds United have confirmed two pre-season friendlies against Premier League opposition.
United will host Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road on Saturday, 25 July and then head to top-flight new boys Burnley on Saturday, 1 August.
Manager Simon Grayson told the club's website: "It's always a good test for the players to come up against teams from that level."
Leeds had already arranged one friendly at York City on 12 July.
Former Blackburn defender Grayson added: "Pre-season is an important time because you lay the foundations for what you need and what you expect over the coming nine months or so.
"It's also good to get a feel of Elland Road before the season starts, and hopefully there will be a decent crowd for the game."
