Burnley's predicted final finish as Leeds United suffer shock defeat but Sheffield United win

Scott Parker’s men won for the fifth time in their last six games with a one-sided 4-0 rout of second tier strugglers Luton Town.

The Clarets are now 23 games unbeaten in the league, replicating the record of Sean Dyche’s side back during the title-winning 2015/16 campaign.

Elsewhere in the division, Sheffield United edged past Preston North End while Sunderland also overcame Cardiff City.

The story of the weekend, however, came on the South Coast as Portsmouth beat leaders Leeds United 1-0 to end the Whites’ 17-game unbeaten run.

While Leeds stay top, they’re now only ahead of Sheffield United in second on goal difference, while Burnley sit just two further points back.

Sunderland, meanwhile, remain in the picture a further six points back.
