Preston North Stop and Sheffield United meet in the EFL Championship on Tuesday at the Deepdale Stadium, both looking to end their two-game losing streak.
Because both teams are currently tied for points in the bottom part of the table, this game has all the makings of a true contest.
While Preston North End was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Birmingham City on Saturday after failing to hang on to their lead.
This came after a 2-1 extra-time loss to Cardiff City, which saw their FA Cup run come to an end.
Preston North End’s next opponent is Sheffield United, who they have lost to in each of their last four meetings.

While Sheffield United sit 14th on the table with 32 points from 23 games, level on points with Tuesday’s hosts and Luton Town.
