    Sheffield Utd are slight favourites: Preston are rock-bottom, injury-hit and leaking at home, while Sheffield have more cutting quality. Expect a narrow away win or draw with a couple of goals and both teams likely to score.

    Bottom-placed Preston have lost ten of 13, concede 1.7 goals a game at home and have four players out. Sheffield Utd are mid-table with five clean sheets, so the lean is towards an away win. Preston's low scoring keeps a draw or narrow result in play.

    Rock-bottom Preston have won only once in thirteen league matches and remain without a clean sheet this season. Sheffield United possess far superior defensive solidity and should capitalise on Preston's fragile backline, though the potential absence of top scorer Patrick Bamford may keep the scoreline relatively tight.
