Preston vs Sheffield United Predictions

• Preston lost each of their final five league matches last season to nil
• Sheffield United went unbeaten in pre-season, winning four of their five fixtures
• The Blades came away from Deepdale with a win in their last trip here in 2022

Blades can could Prem woes behind them with comfortable win

Sheffield United endured a thoroughly disappointing season in the Premier League last season as they became the first side to concede 100 goals in the division, finishing bottom, however Chris Wilder’s men could return to their best with victory at Deepdale.

The Blades won four of their five pre-season matches and have made some exciting moves in the transfer window, bringing in League One player of the season Harrison Burrows, Welsh international striker Kieffer Moore and Coventry star Callum O’Hare.

Preston finished last season with little more than a whimper as the Lilywhites lost each of their last five matches without scoring, while their transfer window has seen the club part ways with club captain Alan Browne and talented forward Ben Woodburn.

With the hosts losing key players in the summer, their issues in front of goal may not be solved and they may struggle to trouble the Blades. The visitors look strong and are tipped by many to push for a top flight return so they could cruise to a comfortable victory in this encounter, with our prediction being a 3-0 away win.
