The teams last faced each other in the 22/23 season when the Blades defeated their opponents twice.

Preston  

The “Invincibles” had a lackluster last season, finishing in the middle of the Championship table. Preston lost their last five matches, with Southampton, Leicester, and West Bromwich all defeating the Lilywhites by the same score of 3-0. At home, Preston managed 11 wins in 23 matches, losing only eight times.

As part of their preparation for the new season, the Invincibles played several friendly matches, performing reasonably well overall. The exception was their last match against Everton, where Preston lost 3-0 at home. However, earlier, the Invincibles secured a victory against a strong Fiorentina team with a score of 2-1.

Sheffield United

The “Blades” had a disastrous last season and performed quite poorly in the Premier League. In 38 matches, Sheffield United managed only three victories while suffering 28 defeats. The team ended the season with a series of seven consecutive losses.

Despite the clear failure, the management refrained from making hasty decisions and retained Chris Wilder as the head coach. During the off-season, the Blades played five matches and remained unbeaten. They secured victories against clubs such as York City, Chesterfield, Harrogate, and Rotherham.
