Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Sheffield United
All eyes will be on Turf Moor when Burnley and Sheffield United lock horns in the Championship derby. The Clarets aim to build on back-to-back wins over Norwich City and Watford and they must be high on confidence ahead of Monday’s clash. With no fresh injury worries to report Scott Parker is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Hornets.
Meanwhile, the Blades proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Cardiff City, with the team keep their automatic promotion hopes alive. As Sheffield United have no other option but to go all guns blazing at Burnley, we are tempted to place our bets on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting at the venue, Burnley crushed Sheffield United 5-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. All Arblaster, Norrington-Davies, Sachdev, and Davies should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Burnley):
Burnley were one of the founding members of the Football League back in 1888. The Clarets did remarkably well to win the FA Cup trophy back in 1914 and the club owners have been trying to bring glory days back to Turf Moor ever since.
Burnley defeated Liverpool in the 1913/1914 FA Cup final and, no doubt, this is regarded as the greatest achievement in the club’s history. The Clarets finished the 2015/2016 Championship campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will participate in the English Premier League in the 2016/2017 season.
Burnley play their home games at Turf Moor and the capacity of the stadium is 21,401. The Clarets have won two Community Shield trophies so far, in 1960 and 1973, but they have yet to clinch the Premier League title. Claret is the dominant colour of the team’s home shirts.
