Second-placed Burnley will welcome third-placed Sheffield United on Monday in a game that could have serious ramifications in the Championship title race.
Scott Parker’s side are currently on a historic 30-game unbeaten run, only the second team to achieve this feat in the Championship since Reading during the 2005-06 campaign. Their last game saw them narrowly beat nine-men Watford 2-1.
On the other hand, Sheffield United have fallen into a slump in recent weeks, with three defeats in their last four games. However, a 2-0 win over Cardiff City saw them bounce back to winning ways.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
