Burnley vs Sheffield United Betting Tips: Latest odds, teams news, preview and predictions

Two Premier League sides pushing for an unlikely European spot meet at Turf Moor on Sunday as Burnley host Sheffield United.

The Clarets recovered from a 5-0 defeat against Manchester City in their first game back, winning their next two games 1-0 to move up to ninth in the table.

It was a similar story for the Blades, who earned their first win since the restart on Thursday evening with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham following a draw and back-to-back 3-0 losses.

Chris Wilder's men recorded a 3-0 success when these two sides met at Bramall Lane back November and bet365 price them 17/10 (2.70) to complete the double.

Burnley vs Sheffield United Team News

Burnley are likely to be without the injured quartet of Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes, Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Robbie Brady, whilst Jack Cork also limped off in Monday night's win against Crystal Palace and will be assessed.

The visitors are without injured midfielders Jon Fleck and John Lundstram, who between them account for over a quarter of the side's league goals this season. Luke Freeman is also side-lined for the Blades.

Burnley vs Sheffield United Preview

The Premier League schedule has clearly favoured Burnley on this occasion, with Dyche's men having an extra 72 hours to prepare for this game than their opponents.

At such a hectic time of the season that advantage could be crucial, particularly against a side that has won just four of their 16 games on the road this season.

Sheffield United have been stronger at home than they have away from Bramall Lane and their total of 13 goals scored on the road is the fifth-lowest in the division.

Both teams are missing key players so a tight game is likely, but perhaps it is logical to expect the hosts to be fresher given their extra recovery time. 

Burnley vs Sheffield Tips and Predictions

The price of 19/10 (2.90) for Burnley to win their ninth home league game looks to offer some value, with both teams to score 'no' and under 2.5 goals priced at 5/6 (1.83) and also of interest.

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
