Sheffield United - LDDLDL
Chris Basham (Leg injury) and John Egan (Foot injury) will not be taking part for Sheffield United gaffer Chris Wilder.
In our view, The Blades could kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for this one, handing starts to Ivo Grbic, Mason Holgate, Anel Ahmedhodzic, Auston Trusty, Yasser Larouci, Gustavo Hamer, Ollie Arblaster, Ben Osborn, James McAtee, Oliver McBurnie and Ben Brereton Diaz.
Sheffield United will be looking for an improved result here after the 2-0 Premier League defeat last time out to Brentford.
In that match, Sheffield United had 47% possession and 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Sheffield United was Ollie Arblaster (63' Own goal). Brentford had 9 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. Frank Onyeka (93') was the scorer for Brentford.
Their most recent results can’t hide the truth which is that more solidity is required of the Sheffield United defence. Sheffield United have seen an unforgivable 18 goals go past their goalkeeper during the period covering their past 6 clashes.
Their past results show that Sheffield United:
*haven't won against Burnley in their previous 2 league matches.
*haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
*are without a win at home for the past 7 league games. Things will have to change soon.
Burnley - DWDDLD
Burnley boss Vincent Kompany has to currently contend with reduced team options. Luca Koleosho (Knee injury) and Jordan Beyer (Hamstring injury) will miss out on this game.
There’s a good chance that The Clarets appear most likely to make use of a 4-4-2 formation, choosing Arijanet Muric, Lorenz Assignon, Dara O'Shea, Maxime Esteve, Charlie Taylor, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Sander Berge, Josh Cullen, Wilson Odobert, Lyle Foster and David Datro Fofana.
In their last fixture, Burnley drew 1-1 in the Premier League match with Brighton & Hove Albion.
In that game, Burnley managed 44% possession and 11 shots at goal with 3 on target. For Burnley, the goalscorers were Josh Brownhill (74') and Arijanet Murić (79' Own goal). On the other side, Brighton & Hove Albion had 20 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target.
The stats tell the story, and Burnley have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 8 goals overall. At the back, Burnley have not been doing too well. Such a pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.
A look at their previous results shows us that Burnley:
*are winless against Sheffield United in away games against them for the last 4 matches in the league. They'll be keen to stop this run.
*haven’t won away from home in the past 7 matches in the league.
Sheffield United possible starting lineup:
Grbic; Holgate, Trusty, Ahmedhodzic; Osborn, Souza, Hamer, Arblaster, Larouci; McBurnie, Brereton Diaz
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Muric; Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve, Taylor; Foster, Berge, Brownhill, Cullen, Odobert; Datro Fofana
Sheffield United vs Burnley Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*Sheffield United have a good historical record against Burnley and have won 52 out of the 130 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Burnley's 46 victories.
*Sheffield United have lost only one of their last 20 matches at home against Burnley in league competitions, with their only such defeat during this period coming by a 3-2 scoreline in 2008.
*Burnley won the reverse fixture against Sheffield United by a 5-0 scoreline in December last year - the highest number of goals they have scored in a single game in the Premier League this season.
*Only one of the five games between Burnley and Sheffield United in the Premier League have been won by the home team, with Burnley achieving the feat last year.

Prediction: Sheffield United 2-2 Burnley
Four of the Clarets' last six Premier League fixtures have now ended level, while Sheffield United have three high-scoring stalemates under their belts from their last five games, pointing towards an entertaining share of the spoils here. Neither side should err on the side of caution with survival out of their own hands, but Burnley's propensity to let leads slip could see Sheffield United glean a solitary point, albeit one which will likely not be enough to keep them afloat.
