Prediction

  • Burnley were in total control when they cruised to a 3-1 away win against Hull last time out. The Clarets haven't played in the league since March 15th, but a 6-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City will do little to dampen the spirits of the champions-elect.
  • A late Amad Diallo penalty ensured Sunderland walked away with a point when they faced playoff contenders Luton two weeks ago. Tony Mowbray's men have won just one of their last seven league games and have seen their playoff hopes all but ended.
