Burnley FC v Sheffield United - Premier League

On the back of their resounding 5-0 win over fellow relegation battlers Sheffield United, Burnley will travel to the Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.

Wolves, meanwhile, fell victim to an explosive start from Arsenal and ended up conceding a narrow 2-1 defeat at the Emirates. Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard fired the Gunners to a two-goal lead by the 13th minute of the game.

Mikel Arteta's men were expected to have a tough evening against the tricky Wolves. However, the match followed a different script although the 2-1 scoreline doesn't exactly reflect it.

Arsenal were the dominant side and they wasted several chances throughout the game. Their profligacy could have cost them in the end after Matheus Cunha pulled one back for Gary O'Neil's men with just four minutes left to play in normal time.

However, Arsenal managed to keep their goalmouth dry in the dying embers to escape with all three points.

Although Wolves have played some exciting matches in recent weeks, their form is starting to look worrying. Saturday's defeat marked a third loss in their last four matches.

They would have been looking to this visit from Burnley on Tuesday rather keenly. But the Clarets' 5-0 win over Sheffield United to snap their seven-match losing streak at home might have altered that feeling slightly.

Vincent Kompany's men came out swinging against the Blades and produced a thoroughly impressive performance to condemn their opponents to the bottom of the table.

Jay Rodriguez, Jacod Bruun Larsen, Zeki Amdouni, Luca Koleosho and Josh Brownhill got on the scoresheet for the Clarets as they blew Sheffield United away on Saturday.

Despite the win, Burnley remain in the relegation zone and will be desperate to build on their resounding win against Sheffield when they visit Molineux on Tuesday.
