Sheff Utd - Burnley

England Premier League - Bramall Lane

It's time for our Premier League predictions ahead of Saturday's clash between the bottom two sides in the division. Both of these teams have picked up a few decent results of late but it may all be a little too late to save either from relegation. However, a win for Burnley could take them to within two points of Luton if they lose at home to Brentford.

Player to watch – Ollie McBurnie

Ollie McBurnie isn't a prolific goalscorer but he leads the way for Shef Utd this season with six Premier League goals.

The Scottish international, who has always found it hard to score regular goals at the top level, has found the back of the net in each of the Blades' last two home games, and we're backing him to cause the Burnley defence a few issues this weekend.

Top scores for the Blades this season

McBurnie, 27, has been with Sheff Utd since 2019 and his best return in front of goal arrived last season when he netted 13 times in 38 Championship appearances.
