PREVIEW: Sheffield United v Burnley

The Roses battle between Burnley and Sheffield United makes a welcome return to the fixture list as the two prepare to meet for the first time in eight seasons.

The Blades’ promotion back to the Premier League for the first time since a one-season stay in 2006-07 renews a rivalry that arguably peaked in the 2009 Championship Play-Off final at Wembley.

Sean Dyche celebrated seven years in charge of the Clarets earlier this week, but this will be his first tilt at a United side managed since May, 2016 by Yorkshireman Chris Wilder, who was born on the outskirts of the steel city and played over 100 games for the team he supported and now manages.
