Burnley desperately need points on Friday, Jan 1 at 6:30 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.
Burnley come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 1D 1L). Sheffield United, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 2D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours Burnley here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Sheffield United, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Burnley won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Burnley a slight edge, but Sheffield United are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
