Bet on Burnley vs Sunderland

Honours Even at Turf Moor?

Burnley are having a fine first season back in the Championship following Premier League relegation. The Clarets are second behind Leeds United, collecting 52 points from 26 games. Victory on Friday will take them to the summit.

Sunderland have been the surprise package in England’s second tier this term. Regis Le Bris was an unknown entity in English football when he took over, but the new boss has hit the ground running at the Stadium of Light.

Scott Parker’s men have been formidable on their own patch this season, unbeaten so far. As for Sunderland, they have lost just twice on the road since September.

Both teams will be desperate for all three points from this top-of-the-table clash. Burnley are the favourites on home soil, but Sunderland are not too far behind in the betting. This promises to be a Friday night Championship cracker at Turf Moor.
