Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United will be looking for an immediate return to the Premier League, and they started their campaign positively with a win against Preston last weekend.
After enduring one of the worst Premier League seasons, the Blades will be looking for a more positive season in England’s second tier.

Sheffield Utd form
The Yorkshire club’s next challenge comes against a QPR team seeking to bounce back from their 3-1 opening loss to West Brom.
After initially leading the division, QPR couldn’t maintain their advantage and finished last season in a disappointing 18th place.
Scoring was a struggle for Sheffield United last season with only 35 goals, but Gustavo Hamer, who scored four of those, opened his account this season with a goal in the season opener.
QPR form guide
QPR, likewise, has been ineffective upfront, failing to capitalize on opportunities against West Brom.
Historically, matches between Sheffield United and QPR have been evenly matched, with 20 wins each and 20 draws out of 59 encounters.
In recent years Sheffield United has had the upper hand, winning six of the last nine matchups since 2015.
Wilder’s side has shown strong form recently, winning four and drawing one of their last five games, including a commanding 2-0 victory over Preston in their season opener.
Oliver Luke Arblaster and Gustavo Hamer scored in that match, building confidence as they come into this game.
United are one for the main fancies for a few people to go up and I’d think they should have too much for QPR on Saturday.
Another three points in front of the home crowd at Bramall Lane will be on the cards this weekend.
