Burnley are favourites to beat Sheffield United (Getty Images).

Burnley Form

Burnley’s improved form now sees them sat out of the relegation zone in 17th place in the Premier League table.

The Clarets went four games unbeaten with wins over Arsenal and Wolves and draws against Everton and Aston Villa before facing Leeds last time out.

Burnley lost 1-0 at Elland Road but were unfortunate to do so after controversially having a goal of their own ruled out for a questionable foul on Islan Meslier.

The Blades are already 11 points adrift from safety and have just two points to their name after 15 matches.

Last time out, Sheffield United lost 1-0 to Everton on Boxing Day after Gylfi Sigurdsson’s 80th minute winner.
