Vini Souza question, key man 'has to play' - Sheffield United predicted XI v Burnley, gallery

Sheffield United predicted XI for crunch Premier League clash against rivals Burnley

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has a number of selection dilemmas for tomorrow's trip to rivals Burnley, as he looks to evoke a reaction from last weekend's disappointment against Bournemouth at home.

The Blades will kick off at Turf Moor two places and a point above Burnley in the table, having slipped four points adrift of fourth-bottom Luton Town on an afternoon to forget last Saturday. Heckingbottom must decide whether to persevere with under-pressure midfielder Vini Souza, with options over both wing-backs and returning striker Oli McBurnie.

With that in mind we tasked our man to step into Heckingbottom's shoes and select the side he would send out to face Burnley - and here is what he came up with. What would you do differently?
