Preston will be looking for more joy in Yorkshire this weekend with a tough trip to take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

This will be the first home game in charge for Gary Speed after the new Blades boss lost his first game as manager by a single goal away at Middlesbrough.

And Preston will be going into the game with renewed optimism after two victories in a row and the promise of a massive away following on the weekend.

Although United are favourites with pnebetting.com at 10/11, many fans will see Preston at 3/1 as an appealing bet. £10 on this would see a big return of £40 with a tenner on a draw at odds of 12/5 seeing a return of £34.

* Joshua King has tortured Portsmouth's and Bradford's defence in the past week with his blistering pace and he is at extremely appealing odds of 8/1 to score first or last at Bramall Lane.

* Traditionally, Bramall Lane has been a tough place for Preston to go to. If you think North End will repeat their 1-1 scoreline from 2007, pnebetting.com will offer you odds of 11/2.

* If you feel that North End will better this and get their third victory on the road this season, a repeat scoreline of the Bradford game is at odds of 12/1 with a 2-0 victory for Darren Ferguson's men at 16/1.

* 120/1 for penalty taker Callum Davidson to score in a 1-0 win. With North End only conceding one in their last two games, this could promise to be a tight game. Just £5 on this bet would see a staggering return of £605.

* Another scorecast that would sway fans is 125/1 for Keith Treacy to score last in a 2-1 victory. Treacy was on loan at United last season and following his screamer in the week, the Irish international could come back to haunt his former club.
