Burnley - Sheffield Utd  Prediction, Picks and Taips  


 
 


Burnley and Sheffield United only meet in the Premier League just before the turn of the year. In the tournament for the Carabao Cup, these two teams are directly linked. That cup match between Burnley and Sheffield United will take place on Turf Moor on Thursday evening.
 



 


 
 


For Burnley, the season does not start until Thursday evening. Since Manchester United, Burnley's original opponent in the first round, had European obligations well into last season, the league game with the English record champion was postponed until further notice. So it means that the players of Sean Dyche have not yet an official game in the legs prior to the duel with Sheffield United, which already has a serious game behind it. Burnley only played one exhibition game in recent weeks: the game with Preston North End ended in a goalless draw more than two weeks ago.

 

Fortunately for Dyche, his team has undergone few changes in recent weeks. With Jeff Hendrick (who left for Newcastle United on a free transfer), a basic player from last season left Burnley, but he also did not play for The Clarets after the corona break. For the rest, the Burnley squad remained intact. It is also not expected that Dyche will be able to welcome many new players. The 49-year-old Burnley manager knows how to benefit from this group of players and Burnley will again be a tough opponent for many clubs. Over the past two seasons, Burnley has been surprised by two League One opponents in the first round of the Carabao Cup. Perhaps it is also good for The Clarets that they are now linked to an equal opponent. There will therefore be no underestimation of Dyche and his men.
 


 
 
 
 

 
Sheffield United was allowed to start a new football season on Monday evening. The Blades were the biggest surprise of the Premier League last season and finished, as a PhD candidate, in a neat ninth place. Chris Wilder's team is going again this season for such a final classification. It's just easier said than done. For the time being, the counter at Sheffield United is at zero points, because Wolverhampton was 0-2 too strong for the club from the steel city on Monday evening. After six minutes, new goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale had already taken the ball out of the goal twice and Sheffield United were no longer behind.

 

Against Wolverhampton, Sheffield United, which was extremely difficult to beat last season, still had the necessary opportunities. Over the entire game, Sheffield United actually didn't even give that much away against the Wolves. In the early stages of the match, however, the Sheffield defense was dormant. Sheffield has a busy week, because after the cup match at Burnley, it will play an away game at Aston Villa next week on Monday evening. Just like Burnley, Sheffield United has also been regularly eliminated early in the cup tournament in recent years - often this also happened by opponents who were active at a lower level. The best example was Crewe Alexandra (playing in League One), who was 1-2 too strong for Sheffield at Bramall Lane in 2016.
