Sheffield United will be playing this Sunday, hitting the road to Molineux for a showdown against Wolves.
Sheffield United are aware that clinching a victory against Wolves this Sunday could bring them within five points of Premier League safety, considering the outcomes of Saturday’s matches. The Blades’ upcoming match against Wolves will be broadcasted on Sky Sports, giving Chris Wilder’s team the opportunity to observe their relegation rivals in action earlier today.
Burnley stays tied on points with United at the bottom of the table after suffering a 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The Clarets were well aware of the challenge ahead in south London, as Palace aimed for a boost under new manager Oliver Glasner. Their situation worsened when Josh Brownhill received a first-half red card, leaving them with 10 men and an uphill battle.
It wasn’t until the 68th minute that Palace finally broke the deadlock, with Chris Richards scoring the opener followed by goals from Jordan Ayew and Jean-Phillippe Mateta, adding to Burnley’s woes by finding a way past James Trafford.
Everton edged a point clear of the relegation zone following their 1-1 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion. Jarrad Branthwaite gave the Toffees the lead in the 73rd minute, but their hopes of a crucial victory were dashed when Lewis Dunk equalized in the fifth minute of stoppage time at the Amex Stadium.
Meanwhile, Burnley’s point haul leaves them just three points adrift of Nottingham Forest, who suffered a 4-2 defeat away to Aston Villa. Despite goals from Moussa Niakhate and Morgan Gibbs-White, Forest couldn’t secure any points, with Douglas Luiz scoring twice for Villa in addition to strikes from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey.
Luton Town had a break this week due to their scheduled match against Liverpool, who were competing in the Carabao Cup final. Luton previously lost 4-1 to Liverpool at Anfield in a midweek fixture.
