Burnley - Sheffield United: Form Analysis
Burnley’s Good Friday outing away to promotion contenders Middlesbrough ended well, with the 2-1 away win confirming their place in the Premier League next season. This was the culmination of a transformative season under Vincent Kompany, securing promotion within just 39 matches, a new high in that sense. Burnley have tasted defeat twice in the Championship this season, and one of those was inflicted by Sheffield United – a 5-2 outcome away in their first meeting in the league. They will be keen to avoid a repeat, and playing at home, where they have no loss this season should favor them. Burnley have gone 19 matches undefeated since that loss to Sheffield in November. Kompany’s side has won 15 of those 19 matches, and in their recent run at home, they have four clean sheets in five, having conceded just one goal in that period.
Sheffield United got a big favor in Burnley beating Middlesbrough, who started the weekend placed third. They did themselves a lot of good as well with a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Wigan and now they have an eight-point gap and are getting closer to automatic promotion. Sheffield are still in the frame to win the Championship title but that would need a major collapse from Burnley, who need just about 11 points from seven matches, as things stand. This is a key game for Sheffield than Burnley and while they will want to stay cautious as Burnley seek to avenge the first leg loss, they will also want to win. With four straight wins coming into this game, Sheffield have the basis, and they have also beaten Burnley in the last two meetings.

Burnley & Sheffield United Squad Analysis
Burnley could go into this game without their top scorer this season, Nathan Tella. The forward, on loan from Southampton was replaced late on in the win over Middlesbrough and will have to be assessed ahead of this game. Darko Churlinov will remain sidelined for this game.
Sheffield United have a longer list of absentees. Enda Stevens was thought to be recovering well and deemed available for this clash but he remains unavailable. Stevens is out alongside Ben Osborn, Rhys Norrington-Davies and Rhian Brewster.

Our Burnley vs Sheffield United Prediction
Burnley have their first target achieved. They are going for a second – winning the league title. However, they haven't done well against Sheffield in the last two meetings. The most recent ended in a 5-2 humiliation and the league leaders haven't kept a lot of clean sheets coming into this game. With both sides on good scoring runs but few clean sheets, we will back the Burnley v Sheffield United game to have both sides scoring.
