A win could take Burnley to the second spot.
The EFL Championship 2024-25 Matchday 36 fixtures take us to Turf Moor where Burnley are set to host Luton Town.
Burnley FC currently sit 3rd in the Championship points table, striving to close the gap on the league leaders. A victory against Luton Town could propel them past Sheffield United into the second spot, reinforcing their push for automatic promotion.
Fresh from a 2-1 triumph over Cardiff City, with goals from Josh Brownhill and Maxime Esteve securing all three points, Burnley will be eager to maintain their winning momentum and capitalize on this crucial fixture.
