While Burnley put together a 16-match unbeaten streak in the Championship, there were numerous occasions when they were lucky to preserve that record.

However, after near misses against Reading and Rotherham United, it became apparent that their luck was running out against Sheffield United. Vincent Kompany had few complaints as his team capitulated under pressure from their hosts, and it represented a wake-up call for anyone who assumed that Burnley would surge clear at the top.

Although Kompany will only be focused on winning the upcoming derby, he will not lose sight of the fact that just eight points separate first and eighth, and another setback on Sunday would see the club experience a low note heading into the break.

Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was not too unhappy with his team’s performance in the League Cup, which included a 2-2 draw against Premier League side West Ham United. Tomasson would have been more satisfied with the calmness of Jack Vale’s finish for his first strike of the campaign.

Ben Brereton Diaz scored his 10th goal of the season, although Tomasson would have been more satisfied with the calmness of Jack Vale’s finish for his first campaign strike.
