Comments:

League position: 9th Burnley failed in their attempt to win three consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since April 2019. James Tarkowski's opener was the fourth first-half goal that the Clarets had scored in their last 21 games in the Premier League. They were now unbeaten in their last six home games in the Premier League (won three).

Comments:

League position: 8th Sheffield United were now without a win in their last four away games in the Premier League (lost two). John Egan scored his first goal in the Premier League and second goal for the Blades (also versus Norwich City in the League Championship on 18 August 2018). United had now conceded 33 goals after 33 games of this Premier League season. The fewest goals conceded by a promoted team in a completed season in the competition is 41 by Newcastle United in 1993-94. Sheffield United named only eight of a possible nine substitutes.
