Preston welcome Sheffield United to their Deepdale in what promises to be an interesting round 12 opener. The Lilywhites aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to WBA and Birmingham and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at the Blades. All Robbie Brady, Brad Potts, Will Keane, Jordan Thompson, and Paul Valentin remain in the recovery room, while Milutin Osmajic faces race against the clock to be fit for Friday’s encounter.
The Blades, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Watford and Blackburn Rovers. Sheffield United have been showing signs of improvement of late and given their recent fine record at Deepdale, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. Speaking of the visiting side, all Gustavo Hamer, Tom Davies, Oliver Arblaster, Tahith Chong, and Ben Godfrey miss out with injuries.
This Championship match will be played on Friday 24 October 2025 at 20:00.
