Scott Parker’s side take on their direct promotion rivals at Turf Moor this Easter Monday knowing a victory will be enough to get the job done.
With three games remaining, the Clarets boast a five-point gap to the Blades in third. A defeat, however, could set up a nerve-jangling final two games.
Both sides have some injury concerns to contend with heading into Monday night’s encounter, so here's an early look at the team news for both outfits:
