Queens Park Rangers, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Queens Park Rangers supremo Neil Critchley after sustaining a heavy 3-0 home loss to Luton Town. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Luton Town's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Having conceded 10 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and Critchley will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 10 their 17 home matches.
Queens Park Rangers will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Loftus Road, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Sheffield United, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-1 away win against Blackpool in their latest league match, Sheffield United will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 44%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Blackpool had 14 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Paul Heckingbottom will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. It's fair to say they have produced a number of good defensive performances away from home, with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches on the road.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row, and are on an unbeaten run of 5 games.
Goalscorer Oli McBurnie will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sheffield United.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Sheffield United, losing 0-1 to Queens Park Rangers.
Away from home, The Blades have shipped at least one goal to QPR in each of their previous 5 league matches against them.
In the league, Sheff. Utd has a good track record when they travel to QPR, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
Billy Sharp will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Sheff. Utd against QPR in this one, having netted 4 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
With only Leon Balogun (Knock) and Stefan Johansen (Knock) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Neil Critchley will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Paul Heckingbottom has a number of injury concerns in his Sheff. Utd squad to contend with: Rhian Brewster (Hamstring), John Fleck (Calf), Rhys Norrington-Davies (Hamstring) and Jack O'Connell (Knee)
