Automatic promotion As we have known for a while, Burnley will be back in the Premier League next season. A win on Saturday at home to relegation-threatened QPR would guarantee the title. They are likely to be joined in the top flight by Sheffield United, who are seven points clear of third with a game in hand and need three points from four matches to guarantee promotion. The Blades will effectively be up if Luton and Middlesbrough draw at Kenilworth Road on Monday given the goal difference but the earliest they can officially secure second spot is Wednesday.
