The bottom two teams in the Premier League will collide this weekend. Sheffield United and Burnley will both be aware that their chances of survival this term will likely hinge on the outcome this weekend, with the Blades having home field advantage.
A huge matchup in the battle to avoid relegation in the Premier League will take place at Bramall Lane on Saturday. Sheffield United will likely come into this fixture under the increased pressure, as they currently sit ten points adrift from safety. The Blades come into this round after going five without a win, while they have picked up just three points over that period.
A big blow was handed to their chances of survival last weekend after the Blades were comfortably beaten 2-0 at Brentford. Sheffield United rarely threatened in that fixture, as they managed just two shots on target. The defeat also saw Sheffield United concede their 84th goal this term, which is the most by any team in the top-flight after 32 rounds of matches.
Burnley will see this weekend as a perfect opportunity to get their survival bid back on track. The Clarets sit second bottom coming into this round of matches, but a victory at Bramall Lane could leave them three points from safety by the end of the weekend.
Burnley’s recent performances have been much improved, but they are yet to win in their last four matches. However, they have at least been more difficult to beat over their last four after playing out draws on three occasions. But, they would have been incredibly disappointed after playing out a tie in their previous match in the competition against Brighton.
Burnley have picked up victories in each of their last two matches against the Blades, which includes a 5-0 success in the reverse clash this term. However, home victories have been a very common outcome, with each of the last six clashes between the sides being won by the team with home field advantage.
Home victories have been extremely common in this fixture over the last 14 years, which could make it challenging to side with the away success. For that reason, we will be siding with a home win for Sheffield United to keep their hopes of survival alive.
