Sheffield United, scheduled for April 21, 2025, promises to be a significant encounter in the EFL Championship. Burnley, currently positioned second with 91 points, is in pursuit of automatic promotion and comes into this match on the back of a recent 2-1 victory against Watford . Conversely, Sheffield United occupies third place with 86 points and recently ended a three-match losing streak by defeating Cardiff City 2-0. The stakes are high; a win for Burnley could secure their promotion while Sheffield's loss may push them toward the playoffs .
Burnley and Sheffield United face off this Monday at the Turf Moor in EFL Championship. The match will be broadcast live at 17:30 on ITV 1.
Burnley have 91 points to their name this season and occupy 2nd position in the table. In their last fixture, Scott Parker's team won 1-2 against Watford (EFL Championship 2024/2025).
Scott Parker and his Burnley side have perfected the characteristic of resilience as the Clarets look for an immediate return to the top-flight. They came from behind on Good Friday to defeat mid-table Watford by two goals to one at Vicarage Road the other day. They begin this match day sitting five points clear of the Blades with nine points to play for.

Sheffield United come into this one on the back of finally ending their three-match losing streak by defeating seemingly League One-bound Cardiff City by two goals to nil at Bramall Lane the other day courtesy of goals in either half from Gustavo Hamer and Ben Brereton. They simply must win if they want to stand a chance of a top two finish this season.
Burnley possible starting lineup: Trafford; Roberts, Esteve, Egan-Riley, Pires; Cullen, Brownhill; Edwards, Hannibal, Anthony; Flemming
Sheffield United possible starting lineup: Cooper; Choudhury, Holding, Ahmedhodzic, Burrows; Souza, Peck; Rak-Sakyi, Brereton Diaz, Hamer; Campbell
Sheffield United, after a prior three-game losing streak, managed a win against Cardiff but remain five points behind Burnley with only three games remaining. A loss here would likely consign them to the historically unfavorable Championship play-off spot for third place. Burnley's impressive 21-game unbeaten run at Turf Moor is built on a strong defense, conceding only six goals. However, they have drawn nine times. Sheffield United boasts an excellent away record, winning 12 of 21 matches and conceding only 17 goals on the road.
