The Clarets have the opportunity to capitalise on Sheffield United’s inactivity in the Championship this weekend with the Blades taking on Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
The league leaders will open up an insurmountable 13-point lead at the top by beating the Hoops, which would also see Vincent Kompany’s men equal the 23-match unbeaten run under Sean Dyche in 2016.
The Manchester City legend, who won the Premier League four times as a player, named a strong side for the visit of the second tier strugglers, with Josh Brownhill returning to action and striker Jay Rodriguez welcomed back into the 18-man matchday squad following a lengthy absence.
