WOMEN'S MATCH PREVIEW: BURNLEY V SHEFFIELD UNITED

Clarets host the Blades in WSL2

2026-10-23T09:00+01:00

Burnley Women return to Barclays Women’s Super League 2 action this Sunday, after two back-to-back Subway Players Cup games, as they host Sheffield United at Turf Moor.

Jackie Bachteler's side will be hoping to claim a first league victory of the 2026/27 campaign, after winning at home last Sunday against Durham in the cup.

The Blades arrive in Lancashire in 9th place, sat just a point ahead of the Clarets, after winning one and losing four of their opening four WSL2 games.

Victory for the hosts this weekend could move Bachteler's side above both Watford and Sheffield United and up to 9th spot.

Sunday's game is also our Halloween themed matchday so supporters are encouraged to dress up in costume and get into the spirit. More details on this can be found below...

Sheffield United - Ones to watch

Lucy Quinn

Republic of Ireland international and former Birmingham City star Lucy Quinn joined the Blades this summer, bringing an end to her five-year stay with the Blues.

Quinn, who has 35 international caps, began life in South Yorkshire brightly, scoring twice in the league, with one assist in the opening five games.

The 33-year-old carries a wealth of experience within the game, with over 350 appearances to her name for the likes of Portsmouth, Tottenham Hotspur and Birmingham.

Charlie Devlin

Charlie Devlin is in her second season with the Blades, after joining United last summer, following a three-season spell with Birmingham City.

The 28-year-old midfielder is another experienced player within the Bramall Lane dressing room, after playing for the likes of Millwall, Manchester United, Charlton Athletic, Leicester City and Rangers throughout her time.

Since arriving in Yorkshire, Devlin has been a key figure on the pitch, scoring seven goals in 25 games last season and has featured in all five league games in the current campaign.

Amy Andrews

Forward Amy Andrews is another player that joined the Blades last summer, after making the move to Sheffield from Newcastle United.

The 26-year-old, who spent time playing in the US before joining Durham in 2023, enjoyed a successful first year with United, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances.

Andrews has started the 2026/27 campaign just where she left off, scoring four goals already in all competitions.
