Queens Park Rangers Preview – Rangers to crash to another home defeat?
Queens Park Rangers spent large chunks of the season in the Championship play-offs, but their poor form over the past couple of months or so has all but ended their top-six dreams. After last weekend’s results, Rangers slipped down to 11th, six points behind sixth spot.
The R’s have been on a dreadful run since late February, losing a staggering eight of 11. Their one and only win during that spell was against Derby County, who have been relegated to EFL League One.
The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium was somewhat of a fortress in the first half of the campaign, but QPR go into their final home match of the season having lost three of their last four on their own patch. Can they restore some pride in front of their own fans on Friday?
Sheffield United Preview – Blades to leave London with a massive three points?
Sheffield United are on the cusp of securing a play-off spot after a stunning run of results since Paul Heckingbottom took over. Under Slavisa Jokanovic, the Blades were languishing at the wrong end of the table, but Heckingbottom returned to the Bramall Lane hotseat and turned the club’s fortunes around.
After last weekend’s hard-fought win over Cardiff City, the Blades go into the penultimate weekend in sixth place. With the chasing pack playing on Saturday, United will put themselves in a commanding position to take one of the four play-off berths with three points in west London on Friday night.

Sheffield United have a good recent record over QPR, winning each of the last four meetings. Rangers’ last victory was a 1-0 home success back in October 2017.
