Sheffield United vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

United’s McBurnie has been involved in eight goals in his last eight Premier League home games, scoring six and assisting twice. The only game in this run in which he hasn’t registered a goal or assist was in the Blades’ 6-0 defeat to Arsenal last month. He has already caused Burnley plenty of problems with his strength and physicality up front and almost netted the opener just a couple of minutes ago!

CHANCE! The Blades have the first opportunity to take the lead! McAtee races down the right, cutting the ball onto his left foot before curling an inviting cross into the middle of the box. McBurnie gets away from his marker and shoots at the goal, but Muric makes himself big to make an important stop at close range.

Taylor busts down the left and looks to whip a low cross into the box, but Ahmedhodzic shows some composure to intercept the ball and pass it away under pressure. The Blades look to burst forward on the counter, but Hamer concedes a foul.

Grbic is going for a direct approach with his passes, launching the ball up to McBurnie twice already, with the forward dropping deeper to get involved with the play. He is getting the better of the Burnley defenders and combines down the right with Bogle, but the defender is tackled as he rushes forward.

The Blades have an early free-kick after McBurnie is pulled to the floor just inside Burnley's half. McAtee chips the ball down the left side of the box to Brereton, who heads it back across into the middle, but the Clarets defence clears it away.

It will be interesting to see how the Blades and Burnley approach this battle at the bottom of the table. It might be a cagey start, with neither side wanting to make a mistake that could lead to a massive opening goal. However, both teams must push for a win to try and avoid relegation as a draw at this stage will probably not be enough.

Burnley get this Premier League clash under way. Foster with the first kick.

United have lost just one of their last 20 home league games against Burnley (winning 14 and drawing five), going down 3-2 in December 2008. They’ve won both of their Premier League games against the Clarets at Bramall Lane. Both teams are on the pitch and are ready to get started.

Burnley make two alterations to the team that drew 1-1 with Brighton in their previous match. Muric retains his place after scoring an own goal, with O’Shea returning from a one-game suspension to replace Ekdal. A shuffle in players also means that forward Datro Fofana comes out for Taylor, who appears at left-back. Vitinho pushes up onto the wing, with Foster starting up front alongside Odobert.

The Blades make two changes to the side that lost 2-0 to Brentford in their last Premier League outing. Bogle is fit enough to start again after coming off with an ankle injury against the Bees, moving down to centre-back to replace Holgate, who drops onto the bench. McAtee comes in on the right, with Souza replacing Larouci in the midfield. The Algerian played on the left in the last fixture, meaning Osborn moves out of the middle and over to the wing.
