Sheff Utd have won one of their last seven league matches against Burnley (D2 L4), a 3-0 victory in this exact fixture last season.

Sheff Utd have scored 19 PL goals in 2020/21 and could become the first ever top-flight team to fail to score at least 20 goals in a full season. 

Burnley are aiming to complete the double over the Blades for just the third time, previously doing so in 1921/22 and 2008/09.

Without goalkeeper Nick Pope, Burnley have lost all five PL contests this season, conceding 17 goals at an average of 3.4 per match.
