Mark Lawrenson is expecting an exciting game when Sheffield United face off against Burnley at Bramall Lane tomorrow afternoon.

Both teams won’t be leaving anything out on the pitch, reflecting the personalities of their managers, and the BBC pundit is anticipating a battle between the two sides:

“You can never accuse either of these teams of lacking effort or intensity, and I think this will turn out to be a cracking contest.”

“Sheffield United were poor early on in their draw with West Ham last week, but they turned it around after the break and I am sure Chris Wilder’s half-time team talk will have had something to do with it.”

“Burnley were outplayed by Chelsea last time out, but you know you are going to get a reaction from Burnley after a poor performance like that.”

Due to the Blades’ poor home record, though, Lawrenson has backed Burnley to get a 2-1 win on the day. There’s no doubting that it will be a close affair, but it would be very surprising if Chris Wilder’s side conceded two goals.

United currently have the joint best defence in the Premier League, while the Clarets have scored just six goals in five matches on the road so far this campaign.

There will probably only be a goal in it, with a draw also a possibility with both sides likely to make it a hard-fought contest with very few chances at either end.
