Burnley are the leading team in the Championship and they almost certainly secured an express return to the Premier League. They have 83 points won, even 13 more than the second-placed Sheffield United. Although the Premier League is within their reach, despite many expectations, this team did not give up their style of play and continued to rack up safe and convincing victories. In the last two league matches, they scored 6 goals and conceded only 1, and they continue to show the evident difference in quality between them and the other teams. In case of victory in this match, Burnley will lack only 6 points to definitely secure a place in the Premier League and that is certainly one of the motivations for the players. True, they suffered a convincing defeat in the FA Cup against Manchester City, but speaking realistically, the quality of City and Burnley really cannot be compared. There are still 9 games left until the end of the championship, that is, there are still 27 points in circulation. I believe that everyone in Burnley wants to win as many points as possible, and why not set a new Championship record, which currently is 106 points won in a season. Burnley will also have great help from the team's best scorer, Nathan Tella, who has scored 5 of his team's last 6 goals in the last two games. they don't have a single defeat.

As for Sunderland, this once standard participant of the Premier League has had a lot of problems in the last few years. In the 2016/17 season, they were relegated from the Premier League, and since then big problems have started for them. Already in the first season of participation in the Championship, they were relegated to League One. They spent 4 seasons in that league, and with a lot of trouble, they returned to the Championship this season. They took 5th place at the end of the season and secured placement in the league above through the play off. They are currently in the 11th position in the table with 7 points less than the playoffs. There is still a long way to go until the end of the season, but Sunderland's form is really not encouraging. In the last 5 matches, they have won only 4 points, with as many as 10 goals conceded. Looking at the teams in the middle of the table, which still have some chances for the play off, Sunderland is the team that concedes the most goals. They have a lot of difficulties in the games against their direct rivals for the play offs and that is one of the reasons why they have not won more points so far. The visiting coach will have certain problems with the absence of players before this match. The team's best scorer Ross Stewart has been injured for a long time, while the second best scorer Amad Diallo played a tough match for Ivory Coast and the question is how much he will be rested for this match. They will also have problems in defense, because their standard defender Dan Ballard was injured while playing for the national team. Even if all of Sunderland's players were available, Burnley would still be considered heavy favourites. In this way, their work will be made even easier and we should expect another sure win for the leader of the table.

伯恩利是英冠联赛的领头羊，他们几乎肯定会迅速回到英超联赛。他们赢了83分，甚至比排名第二的谢菲尔德联队多了13分。尽管英超联赛已经触手可及，但这支球队并没有放弃他们的比赛风格，继续取得安全而令人信服的胜利。在最近的两场联赛中，他们进了6球，只丢了1球，他们继续显示出他们与其他球队在质量上的明显差异。如果在这场比赛中获胜，伯恩利只差6分就能确保在英超的席位，这当然是球员们的动力之一。的确，他们在足总杯中惨败给曼城，但现实地说，曼城和伯恩利的实力真的无法相提并论。距离冠军结束还有9场比赛，也就是说，还有27分在流通中。我相信伯恩利的每个人都想赢得尽可能多的积分，为什么不创造一个新的英冠纪录呢，目前是单赛季106分。伯恩利还将得到球队最佳射手内森·特拉的大力帮助，在过去两场比赛中，他为球队打进了6个进球中的5个。他们没有一次失败。

至于桑德兰，这个曾经的英超标准参与者在过去几年出现了很多问题。在2016/17赛季，他们从英超降级，从那以后，他们开始遇到大问题。在参加英冠联赛的第一个赛季，他们就降到了英甲。他们在那个联赛中度过了4个赛季，遇到了很多麻烦，本赛季他们回到了英冠联赛。他们在赛季结束时获得了第五名，并通过附加赛确保了在联赛中的位置。他们目前排在积分榜第11位，比季后赛少7分。距离赛季结束还有很长的路要走，但桑德兰的状态确实不太乐观。在过去的5场比赛中，他们只拿到了4分，丢球多达10个。看看积分榜中游的球队，他们仍然有机会进入决赛，桑德兰是失球最多的球队。他们在与直接竞争对手的比赛中遇到了很多困难，这也是他们到目前为止没有赢得更多积分的原因之一。客队教练在比赛前由于球员缺阵会有一些问题。球队最佳射手罗斯·斯图尔特已经受伤很长一段时间，而第二射手阿马德·迪亚洛为科特迪瓦打了一场艰苦的比赛，问题是他在这场比赛中会休息多少。他们的防守也会有问题，因为他们的标准后卫丹·巴拉德在国家队比赛时受伤了。即使桑德兰的所有球员都可以上场，伯恩利仍然被认为是最大的热门。这样一来，他们的工作就会变得更加容易，我们应该期待着桌子上的领导者又一次稳获胜利。
