Sheffield United vs Queens Park Rangers prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22
Seeking to rise into the top half of the EFL Championship table, Sheffield United play host to Queens Park Rangers at the Bramall Lane Stadium on Monday.
The hosts head into the game fresh off the back of a thrilling win over Cardiff City, while the visitors were beaten 2-0 by Stoke City.
Sheffield United continued their fine string of performances last Saturday as they came from behind to claim a hard-earned 3-2 win away to Cardiff City.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side have now won their last three league games, scoring six goals and conceding three since a goalless draw with Coventry City back in November.
This resurgent form has seen the Blades rise to 13th place in the EFL Championship table, after claiming 29 points from 21 games.
Meanwhile, QPR were denied their fourth win on the trot last time out as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Stoke City.
Prior to that, Mark Warburton’s men were on a run of six games without defeat, claiming four wins and two draws since crashing out of the EFL Cup at the hands of Sunderland back in October.
With 35 points from 21 games, QPR are currently fifth on the log, level on points with Stoke City in the final playoff spot.

The results have been split right down the middle in the history of this fixture, with both sides claiming 18 wins each from their last 55 encounters. The spoils have been shared on 19 different occasions in that time.
