Prediction
It all depends on the moods of the players, doesn’t it? Sheffield United might be riled up to get a seventh win or to avoid losing a 30th time, which would break a four-way tie for most in a single PL seasons. But it also might already be thinking about vacations, new homes, or how to deliver in the Championship.
Burnley’s not going to be sleeping -- they rarely are -- and Chris Wood is among those capable of delivering goals. We could see 0-0. We could see 4-1 either way. But we’ll peg this one as Sheffield United 1-1 Burnley.
