Player to watch – Harrison Burrows
Harrison Burrows has been enjoying a fine maiden campaign at left back for Sheffield United and the 22-year-old has the tools to shine again when he lines up against West Brom on Sunday.
Burrows can make a big impact
Burrows has been averaging an excellent 2.50 tackles and 1.50 key passes per game in the Championship this season, proving his ability to influence the game at both ends of the pitch and the youngster could be a driving force for the Blades again this weekend.
