• Fixture: Sheffield United vs Queens Park Rangers

• Date: Saturday, 08 November 2025

• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT

• Venue: Bramall Lane

Sheffield United are coming into this match with a bit of a wobble, having lost their last three games. However, before that, they managed to secure two wins, showing they can still pack a punch. Their recent form suggests they might struggle to find their rhythm early on, but with players like Tom Cannon and Tyrese Campbell in attack, they have the firepower to turn the game around if they can get their act together.

Queens Park Rangers, on the other hand, have had a rough patch, losing four out of their last five matches. Their only win came away at Swansea City, which might give them some confidence. They'll need to be solid at the back and hope that Ilias Chair and Koki Saito can create some magic in midfield to stand a chance against Sheffield United's attack.

Sheffield United's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with three consecutive losses following two wins. This inconsistency could play on their minds, but they've shown they can bounce back.

Their last two wins were both away from home, which might give them a bit of confidence going into this match. If they can sort out their defensive frailties, they could well come out on top against QPR.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 1-3 vs Coventry City (A)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Derby County (H)

• Loss: 2-3 vs Preston North End (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs Blackburn Rovers (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Watford (H)

Queens Park Rangers have been struggling lately, with only one win in their last five games. Their defence has been leaky, conceding 10 goals in those matches. However, their win against Swansea City shows they can still pull off a result when they need to. If they can tighten up at the back and get their midfield firing, they might just cause Sheffield United some problems.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Southampton (H)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Ipswich Town (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Derby County (A)
• Win: 1-0 vs Swansea City (A)

The most recent encounter saw Sheffield United come out on top with a 2-1 victory away at QPR, suggesting they might have the edge going into this match.

Sheffield United's predicted lineup suggests a focus on solid defending with Tanganga, McCallum, Mee, and McGuinness at the back. The inclusion of O'Hare and Ogbene in midfield indicates a strategy to control the tempo of the game and feed the ball to the attacking duo of Cannon and Campbell.

• Predicted lineup: Nardi (GK), Dunne (DF), Morrison (DF), Mbengue (DF), Norrington-Davies (DF), Varane (MF), Madsen (MF), Smyth (MF), Chair (MF), Saito (MF), Burrell (AT)

• Campbell vs Mbengue: This will be a crucial battle between Sheffield United's dynamic forward Campbell and QPR's solid defender Mbengue.
• Peck vs Chair: The midfield duel between Sheffield United's Peck and QPR's creative force Chair could dictate the flow of the game.
• Cannon (Sheffield United): Cannon's ability to find the back of the net makes him a vital player for Sheffield United's attacking threat.
• Saito (Queens Park Rangers): Saito's creativity and vision in midfield could be key for QPR in breaking down Sheffield United's defence.
