Burnley have won six of their last seven home games
Sheffield United have lost all three encounters with the top two
The Clarets have claimed 20 points from a possible 27 against the top six
Clarets to clinch promotion
Sheffield United have work to do on Monday, as they trail Burnley by five points with three games to play. Their vastly inferior goal difference means this is a must-win game for the visitors, but they’ve lost three of their last four and they have consistently come up short against the league’s top sides.
The Blades have lost all three encounters with the top two, including a 2-0 home defeat to the Clarets. They’ve been beaten at Sunderland and Middlesbrough, while their first three games of the month brought unnecessary defeats which have put them out of the promotion running.
Burnley head into the game with an unbeaten home record. The Clarets have won eight of their last 10 league games, while they’ve won six of their last seven at Turf Moor.
The hosts also seem to have a big-game advantage, as they’ve taken 20 points from 27 available against the top six. Burnley are the form side, while they look best-placed to show up to a high-stakes game. Back them to edge out the Blades and book a Premier League return.
