This week, a spot in the Championship playoffs remains open as Sheffield United welcomes Queen Park Rangers at home. The match is scheduled for Monday at Bramall Lane, kickoff at 10:45 pm.
The visitors are currently sixth-placed in the Championship, whereas the hosts are 13th in the table with 29 points.
Regardless of their previous form this season, English Championship side Sheffield United parted company with Serbian manager Slavisa Jokanovic after their victory away at Reading.
Uncertainty was rife at the division’s bottom club after the sacking of Nigel Adkins.
However, as it stands, the Blades’ hierarchy’s decision looks fully justified, Paul Heckingbottom starting his reign with victories over Bristol City and Cardiff City.
Sheffield United have taken a huge step towards automatic promotion to the Premier League by beating 10-man West Bromwich Albion 2-0 at Bramall Lane.
QPR went into their match against Stoke with the chance to move closer to second and third-placed West Brom and Blackburn.
However, Mark Warburton’s side was well beaten by the Potters, who became the first away team to prevent QPR from scoring in the Championship since March 13.
QPR takes on Blackburn at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, hoping to keep their standards high and hope of alive playing-off football.

Sheffield United Team News
Heckingbottom is likely to confirm the Sheffield United side that beat Cardiff City 2-0 on Friday night, meaning no change in goal and no place for Jamal Blackman, who has been on the bench all season. Nigel Clough is unlikely to tinker with his side, which means Stephen McLaughlin continues right-back.
QPR Team News
QPR forward Lyndon Dykes has been making progress in his recovery from an ankle injury, but the Scotland international will not be considered for a starting role.
Andre Gray and Luke Amos could start for QPR against Millwall today and boost their Fantasy Premier League points scores. Charlie Austin, Andre Dozzell or both could make way for them.
Prediction and Odds
We expect a highly competitive clash this Monday that might well end in a draw.
