Vincent Kompany's Burnley made history on Good Friday with a momentous victory over a formidable Middlesbrough side at Riverside Stadium. Burnley's Ashley Barnes and Connor Roberts scored on either side of Chuba Akpom's penalty, securing the Clarets' promotion to the Premier League with seven games to spare. This unprecedented feat has not allowed the team to rest easy just yet, as they now aim to clinch the title and set a new points record in the Championship. With an 11-point lead over Sheffield United, Burnley will seek to maintain their unbeaten run of 20 matches in the league and their flawless home record at Turf Moor, where they have collected 48 points from a possible 60.
Burnley Predicted Lineup
Muric; Roberts, Beyer, Al-Dakhil, Maatsen; Cullen, Brownhill; Tella, Gudmundsson, Zaroury; Barnes
Sheffield United's Form
Sheffield United had hoped to disrupt Burnley's promotion party, but they must focus on their own campaign as they continue to chase the Clarets. The Blades secured a narrow victory against Wigan Athletic on Friday, and while performances are not their main concern, they maintain an eight-point lead over Luton Town. However, Heckingbottom's men are not celebrating promotion yet, and they will need to continue their impressive form to stay on track. Sheffield United arrive at Turf Moor on the back of four consecutive wins, including three away victories. Burnley's only defeat in the Championship came at the hands of Sheffield United in November, but the Clarets have a solid record against their opponents at Turf Moor, having not lost to them at home since the 2008-09 campaign.
Sheffield United Predicted Lineup
Foderingham; Robinson, Egan, Ahmedhodzic; Bogle, Norwood, Berge, Doyle, Baldock; McAtee; Ndiaye
