The new champions began the day on 92 points, and with four games remaining they can set a new benchmark for top-flight points. However they will have to do it without their captain Jordan Henderson after he was ruled out for the rest of the campaign, and face a Burnley side in good form since the restart.

Prediction
Burnley are in good form right now, and Liverpool are without their captain, but even Sean Dyche will struggle to come up with a way to stop Liverpool in full flow. Liverpool 2-0 Burnley.
A win today would take Sheffield United above Wolves and into sixth. It's difficult to overstate how much of an achievement a Europa League finish would be, but there will be no letting up at this stage from Wilder's team.
The players are out at Bramall Lane. Lampard and Wilder exchange a firm handshake. We're almost ready for kick off.
The hosts, in their red and white stripes, get the ball rolling.
1 min: A very fast start from Sheffield United, who play the ball into O'Connell, one of their overlapping centre backs, on the left. He flashes a ball across the box and Chelsea need to be alert to clear.
2 min: Pulisic races forward on the left and finds Barkley to his right. His low shot is easily saved by Henderson.
3 min: A poor challenge from Baldock on Pulisic earns the Sheffield United man an early booking.
5 min: Chelsea are caught out at the back and Sheffield United look to take advantage. Norwood crosses for McGoldrick in the middle, and the striker can't quite get his head to the ball before Reece James.
6 min: Kepa punches clear a corner, but it comes out to Osborn, who slices a shot over the bar from the edge of the box. It's been a positive start from the hosts.
7 min: An excellent cross from James, who spots the run of Pulisic at the back post and whips the ball in his direction. The American gets to it first, but he's off balance and can't guide his effort on target.
