The key TV and streaming details ahead of Sheffield United’s trip to Preston North End

Sheffield United are preparing to visit Deepdale to take on the Championship basement boys Preston North End.

Chris Wilder’s men are finding their feet after an unconvincing start to the season and defeated Wrexham 1-0 under the Bramall Lane lights on Friday (October 30).

“We needed to put in a 95-minute performance together,” said Wilder. “We’re trying to find that consistency.

“A lot of clubs are still finding their way after 12 games and they’re all looking for that consistency. It was up to us to take the initiative and we certainly did. Everybody turned up.

“Hopefully we can kick on from tonight’s performance. I thought we were the better team and fully deserved the win.”

Preston, meanwhile, saw their woes worsened by a 2-0 loss away at Stoke City on Saturday (October 31). Graham Alexander has replaced Paul Heckingbottom at the helm, but the club’s problems remain.
