On Saturday at Bramall Lane, Sheffield United and Burnley will face off in a crucial matchup for the top of the Championship standings.

With 32 points after 18 games, Sheffield United has enjoyed a decent start to the season and is presently third in the standings. Iliman Ndiaye and Oli McBurnie scored in the first half of West Bromwich Albion’s 2-0 victory last Saturday, giving Paul Heckingbottom’s team an essential return to winning ways after their previous draw with Norwich.

The standout team in England’s second division is Burnley, led by Vincent Kompany. The Clarets have jumped to the top of the Championship table after figuring out how to turn their single-point totals into all three. The most recent of these occurred midweek, when Burney rallied from a goal down to score twice in stoppage time at Turf Moor, defeating Rotherham United 3-2.

Team News

While Sheffield United’s injury problems have recently improved thanks to the return to the lineup of players like Billy Sharp, John Fleck, Enda Stevens, Jack Robinson, and Ciaran Clark, they may once again be without key midfielders Tommy Doyle, Low, Sander Berge, and Rhian Brewster.

After serving a ban the last time out, Anel Ahmedhodzic will be eligible to play again. However, Heckingbottom may keep the back three of Chris Basham, John Egan, and the recovering Robinson.

Burnley will be without influential midfielder Josh Brownhill due to suspension on Saturday, while Ashley Westwood, Josh Cullen, Scott Twine, and Darko Churlinov are all out due to injuries.

Samuel Bastien will probably replace Jack Cork in the centre midfield on Saturday.

Prediction

Sheffield United 1-1 Burnley

Burnley travels to Bramall Lane in excellent form, but they will have one of their toughest tests when they play the combative Blades. Given that both teams have among the league’s finest records on both ends of the field, I predict a share of the spoils.
