Burnley, relegated in the 2021/22 season after six years in the Premier League, gained instant promotion last year. However, the current season is disastrous, with just four points in 13 rounds. Despite coach Vincent Kompany’s optimism, the team is currently on a seven-game losing streak and has blown opportunities, as seen in their last game against West Ham.
Sheffield United, like Burnley, had a disastrous season, only gaining one point more than the Clarets. Their poor start was due to poor transfer window management and constant injury issues. However, recent improvements in results have shown potential to boost morale and improve the team’s performance.
Striker Lyle Foster has taken a break from professional football due to mental health issues, with no potential return date. Midfielder Jack Cork will miss the game due to injury and backup goalkeeper Arijanet Muric is ill. Ameen Al Dakhil, a starting central defender, should return after a knock sustained during a national team match in Belgium.
The team is facing constant injury issues and will miss six players for the upcoming game. However, Anel Ahmedhodzic, their best defender, has returned after missing four games with an injury. The 24-year-old Bosnian played 45 minutes in Bournemouth and is likely to return to the starting lineup. Paul Heckingbottom is the primary candidate for sacking in the Premier League, followed by Vincent Kompany and Erik Ten Hag.
