Sheffield United
Queen’s Park RangersSheffield United
The Blades have made a comfortable return to the Championship and Chris Wilder’s men currently sit in 8th place in the table – 3 points outside of the play-off places. A spirited 2-1 win over Leeds last time out could be the catalyst the Blades need to propel themselves back into the play-off picture with only a few games remaining.
Leon Clarke has rolled back the years for United this season – notching 15 goals in all competitions this term.
Queen’s Park Rangers
Ian Holloway’s men have lacked consistency all season, epitomised by 3 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 Championship games. With 36 points from their 31 matches played, the R’s currently sit 16th and should have enough about them to avoid being dragged into a relegation dog fight.
QPR are blessed with a wealth of attacking talents, with Northern Irishman Conor Washington in particular being one of their most potent threats. He has scored 6 goals this season – a tally he’ll be keen to improve upon.
Head to Head
QPR just edge the head to head record between the teams 18:15 with another 19 games ending as draws historically. Queen’s Park Rangers picked up a vital 1-0 win at Loftus Road back in October thanks to an early Idrissa Sylla goal.
