Burnley v Sheffield United: Sutton's predictions
- Published
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.
This week, he takes on All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Claudio Castagnoli.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Who on earth do I go with here?
Burnley have the worst home record in the Premier League, with seven defeats out of seven, while Sheffield United boast the worst away record, with one point from six games so far.
I keep saying the Clarets will get a draw when they play at Turf Moor, and I keep being wrong, but I don't really have much choice this time - I don't really want to back Burnley, but Sheffield United were so bad last week that I don't want to back them either.
Bournemouth beat the Blades 3-1 at Bramall Lane last weekend, but they could have absolutely wiped the floor with them - the scoreline flattered Paul Heckingbottom's side.
So I am going for a draw. If I'm wrong and there is a winner, then it could be a problem for whichever manager does lose.
It is one thing being beaten by the top teams but losing to the teams in and around you is damaging, and would really increase the pressure on Heckingbottom, or Burnley boss Vincent Kompany.
Claudio's prediction: 0-2
