• Tournament – Premier League
• Date – Saturday, April 20, 2024
• Kick-off Time – 02:00 pm GMT

A bottom-of-the-table Premier League clash will see Sheffield United host Burnley on Saturday.

A defeat for Sheffield could see their relegation confirmed this weekend depending upon other results. They sit at the bottom of the table with three wins, seven draws, and 22 defeats in their 32 league games.

Burnley, meanwhile, are 19^th, four points above Sheffield, and look set to return to the Championship as well. They have four wins, eight draws, and 21 losses in their 33 league games so far.

The Clarets are six points off safety and will need a major push to remain in the Premier League next season. They have been in decent form recently though, having lost just one of their last five games.

Sheffield United vs Burnley Prediction

Both sides have struggled on their return to the Premier League this season. Sheffield are winless in their last eight games, having five defeats and three draws. They lost 2-0 against Brentford in their last game.

Burnley, meanwhile, have lost just one of their last six games but also won just one. They held Brighton & Hove Albion to a 1-1 draw in their last game at home.

While Sheffield appears set to get relegated, Burnley still has an outside chance to be safe and will certainly be desperate for all three points. It could be a thrilling game.
