All eyes will be on Turf Moor when Burnley and Sunderland face each other in the Championship derby on Friday evening.
The Clarets did well to beat Hull City 3-1 before the international break, with the team moving one step closer to securing automatic promotion, but boss Vincent Kompany must warn his men against complacency.
Since Burnley suffered elimination in the FA Cup, they will be fully focused on the Championship in the season finale. All Josh Brownhill, Darko Churlinov, and Taylor Harwood-Bellis should miss out with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Black Cats failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Luton on Matchday 38, with the team remaining in the middle of the table.
Sunderland are desperate to keep their playoffs hopes alive, but given Burnley’s brilliant home record (14-5-0), we are tempted to put our money on Vincent Kompany’s troops.
The likes of Aji Alese, Dennis Cirkin, Corry Evans, Ross Stewart, and Elliot Embleton are injured for the visiting team.
This match will be played on 31/03/2023 at 20:00
Prediction: 2-1
