Sheffield United travel to face Preston North End targeting back-to-back league victories following a Friday night win against Wrexham. Manager Chris Wilder must navigate key squad changes, as defender Liam Kitching is suspended after receiving his fifth booking of the season. Meanwhile, Kalvin Phillips is assessed following an ankle issue, and Patrick Bamford could return from a shoulder problem.
