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.
42 min: This has been a tame first half from Chelsea, who've spent most of it passing the ball sideways without any hint of penetration. Sheffield United, at the moment, look like they could defend their lead all day.
43 min: James has a go from distance and Henderson makes a routine save. He almost parries it into the path of Abraham, but just about gets away with it.
The first half comes to a close. Sheffield United have been excellent, at their disciplined and clinical best. McGoldrick and McBurnie scored the goals, but the defensive effort has been equally impressive. Chelsea, who haven't created a single noteworthy chance, need a drastic change after the break.
Liverpool were frustrated by Burnley at Anfield earlier today. Here's Melissa Reddy's match report from that game:
Chelsea have now conceded 48 goals in the Premier League. That's more than any other team in the top half. It's 15 more than Sheffield United. Maybe, just maybe, signing Kai Havertz shouldn't be the priority.
Chelsea get the second half underway. Unsurprisingly, Lampard has made two changes. Marcos Alonso and Antonio Rudiger are on for Mount and Christensen.
46 min: Chelsea have switched to a back five then, with two wing backs, to match up with Sheffield United.
