QPR and Sheffield United will seek to keep their fading play-off hopes alive when they meet on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

The R's are 14th, two points and two places above the Blades, after following-up their fine win at Hull last Saturday with a humbling 5-0 reverse at Southampton on Tuesday night.

United are nine points behind sixth-placed Wrexham with a dozen games remaining after Sunday's Steel City derby win was followed by a 2-1 home defeat to leaders Coventry on Wednesday night.

  • QPR have won just one of their past 10 league games against Sheffield United (D3 L6), a 1-0 away win in October 2022.

  • Sheffield United have won three of their past four away league games against QPR (D1), as many as they had in their previous 15 (D4 L8).

  • QPR have alternated between victory (3) and defeat (3) in their past six home league games, losing 3-1 against Blackburn Rovers last time out.

  • Since the start of April 2025, only West Bromwich Albion (14) have lost more away games in the Championship than Sheffield United (13).

  • Sheffield United's Patrick Bamford has faced QPR more often without registering a single goal or assist than any other side in his English league career (6).
