๐ Form Guide
Sheffield United
LDDLDL โ
Sheffield United will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Brentford.
In that game, Sheffield United managed 47% possession and 8 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. The scorer for Sheffield United was Ollie Arblaster (63' Own goal). For their opponents, Brentford had 9 shots at goal with 5 on target. Frank Onyeka (93') scored for Brentford.
Their most recent results canโt hide the truth which is that more solidity is required of the Sheffield United defence. Sheffield United have seen an unforgivable 18 goals go past their goalkeeper during the period covering their past 6 clashes.
Their past results show that Sheffield United:
- haven't won against Burnley in their previous 2 league matches.
- haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
- are without a win at home for the past 7 league games. Things will have to change soon.
Burnley
DWDDLD
In their previous game, Burnley drew 1-1 in the Premier League match with Brighton & Hove Albion.
In that match, Burnley had 44% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. For Burnley, the goalscorers were Josh Brownhill (74') and Arijanet Muriฤ (79' Own goal). On the other side, Brighton & Hove Albion got 20 attempts at goal with 8 on target.
The stats tell the story, and Burnley have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals overall. At the back, Burnley have not been doing too well. Such a pattern wonโt necessarily be carried forward here, though.
A look at their previous results shows us that Burnley:
- are winless against Sheffield United in away games against them for the last 4 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.
- havenโt won away from home in the past 7 matches in the league.

๐๏ธ Team News: Sheffield United
John Egan (Foot injury) and Chris Basham (Leg injury) will not be taking part for Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder.
In our view, The Blades should make use of the 4-3-3 system this time and select Ivo Grbic, Mason Holgate, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Auston Trusty, Yasser Larouci, Gustavo Hamer, Ollie Arblaster, Ben Osborn, James McAtee, Oliver McBurnie and Ben Brereton Diaz.
๐ฐ Team News: Burnley
Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Luca Koleosho (Knee injury) and Jordan Beyer (Hamstring injury) are not able to play.
Thereโs a good chance that The Clarets appear most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation, starting Arijanet Muric, Lorenz Assignon, Dara O'Shea, Maxime Esteve, Charlie Taylor, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Sander Berge, Josh Cullen, Wilson Odobert, Lyle Foster and David Datro Fofana.
๐ก Prediction
Looking at these two, we feel that Burnley and Sheffield United could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw. Weโre therefore tipping a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline at the end of this one.
