We’re closing in on 120 competitive fixtures between Preston North End and Sheffield United, with the 118th at Deepdale this weekend.
It is another exciting one, with plenty to play for, with the Blades chasing automatic promotion and the Lilywhites hoping to put pressure on those in the Play-Off places.
The two sides played out a thriller at Bramall Lane earlier this season, with North End coming from 2-0 down to draw level with their hosts, only for a late winner for Chris Wilder’s side.
Both teams will be looking to bounce back from last weekend’s games, with Sheffield United losing their first home game since December, despite going 2-0 up against Bristol City, and PNE couldn’t quite mount a comeback at Reading.
