Burnley vs Sheffield Utd prediction

Scott Parker and his Burnley side have perfected the characteristic of resilience as the Clarets look for an immediate return to the top-flight. They came from behind on Good Friday to defeat mid-table Watford by two goals to one at Vicarage Road the other day. They begin this match day sitting five points clear of the Blades with nine points to play for.

Sheffield United come into this one on the back of finally ending their three-match losing streak by defeating seemingly League One-bound Cardiff City by two goals to nil at Bramall Lane the other day courtesy of goals in either half from Gustavo Hamer and Ben Brereton. They simply must win if they want to stand a chance of a top two finish this season.

Chris Wilder promised twists and turns in the run-in and now he very much needs a twist here. Burnley will be defensive and United will have to break them down in what is a vital encounter.

Burnley vs Sheffield Utd tip: Under 2.5 goals
