After a disappointing run of results, Sheffield United have picked up some momentum in recent weeks.

The Blades have won back-to-back games against Bristol City and West Bromwich Albion, conceding no goals in the process; they had no wins in six prior fixtures, with three draws and three losses.

With that in mind, Paul Heckingbottom’s men are currently third on the Championship table; they are five points behind tonight’s opponents and league leaders Burnley, with 32 points from 18 matches.

Sheffield United will hope to cut their visitor’s lead at the top of the table by winning this match.

On the other hand, Burnley are coming off a dramatic 3:2 victory over Rotherham United.

The Clarets surprisingly fell behind early in the second half, and were trailing by the 90 minute mark.

However, thanks to two stoppage time goals, Vincent Kompany’s men were able to secure all three points.

Burnley have won four consecutive games; they’ve been a tough team to beat, losing none of their last 17 matches.

It’s also fair to note that Burnley are leading the standings ahead of this fixture; they are five points clear at the top of the Championship table, with 38 points from 18 games.

Vincent Kompany’s men will set their sights on their fifth straight win as they visit Bramall Lane.

First versus third, this fixture could go either way, as these are two of the best teams in the Championship.

However, considering the odds offered here, we are leaning towards the visitors not to lose this match.

We have already established that Burnley are unbeaten in their last 17 games; they’ve actually lost just once in the Championship this season, no other team has lost fewer than four matches.

Furthermore, although Sheffield United won their last two games, they’ve only managed two wins in their last eight matches.

Taking everything into consideration, we believe that there’s a lot of value in Burnley not to lose; this option can be backed at 1/2 odds.
