Burnley vs Sheffield comment: Touching the championship

Middlesbrough's victory on the field in round 40 a few days ago helped Burnley officially get a promotion ticket to the English Premier League.

Accordingly, coach Kompany's army has got 87 points and is 19 points away from the 3rd ranked team Luton. This is a gap that cannot be leveled because Luton has only 6 matches left to close the English First Division.

But saying that doesn't mean Burnley will lose focus because they still have the task of winning the British First Division crown - which means a big bonus.

Back to the match tonight, they have an important match when they face the 2nd ranked team Sheffield and if they win all 3 points, the championship trophy is almost in the hands of Burnley. Remember, Burnley is 11 points behind Sheffield in the rankings.

With the home advantage and impressive performance (won 15 and drew 4 in the last 19 rounds), the Turf Moor team is confident to defeat  Sheffield to consolidate the top spot. Burnley's confidence in victory increases when they have won the last 2 times to welcome Sheffield at home in the English First Division.
