Swansea v Sheff Utd key battles

McBurnie impressed in his maiden season at Sheffield United, scoring six times as Chris Wilder’s side finished ninth in their first campaign back at the highest level.

It was a different story in 2020-21 as United were relegated and McBurnie scored only once.

Having left Wales for Bramall Lane in a deal worth up to £20m in 2019, McBurnie has received criticism from some fans after sitting among Swansea’s fans watching his old club on a number of occasions, most recently at May’s Championship play-off final against Brentford.

After a pre-season which was disrupted by the foot injury which saw him miss Euro 2020, he is looking to reclaim his place in Jokanovic’s side and would like nothing more than to score against his old club. He is 23/10 to score at any time in Swansea v Sheff Utd betting tips and 18/1 to score two or more.
