Sheffield United have proved to be the best of the promoted sides and are eighth in the Premier League. They look to climb even higher when hosting Burnley who are 13th in the table but only a point behind United. The Yorkshire club grabbed a point at West Ham United last weekend preserving their unbeaten away record. Home form isn't so good though with two wins and three defeats. Southampton, Liverpool and Leicester have beaten them on home soil but their last match was a 1-0 win over Arsenal. Five home games have only produced seven goals, just three of them scored by the home side. Eight of their ten league matches this season have had under 2.5 goals scored in them, that's level with Wolves as the most for any Premier League club.

Burnley had risen to as high as fifth in the league but two successive defeats have seen them drop to 13th. In a tight league, they are four points off the top five but the same number above the relegation zone. Burnley's two recent defeats came at second placed Leicester City and at home to Chelsea who are fourth. They aren't at that level so it's not surprising they struggled. Back against a side such as Sheffield United they have more chance of at least earning a point. Burnley are yet to record an away league win this season with three draws and two defeats. They have only scored six away league goals and the tip here is for this match to have under 2.5 goals scored in it.
