Sheffield United secured a 2-1 win over QPR in their last game to return to winning ways after the 3-1 loss to Leeds United. Hamza Choudhury scored the first goal of the game in the 10th minute before Tyrese Campbell doubled the lead in the 54th minute. Michael Frey got a consolation goal for QPR in the 72nd minute. The Blades have won five of their last six games and three of their last five games at home. They sit second on the table with 73 points in 35 games, scoring 50 goals and conceding 27. However, Ollie Arblaster will miss this game due to a knee injury.
