Bet up to £25 risk-free on a QPR win to nil
This is the fourth season since Sheffield United and Neil Warnock's separation after relegation from the Premier League and while neither have been back to the promised land since, the manager has recovered from the demotion far better than his boyhood club.
Whereas the Blades look set to tumble again with seven points separating them from Crystal Palace in 21st and only eight fixtures to remedy the situation, Warnock is heading back to the top-flight with QPR and has to be fancied at [1.55] to move a step closer at the expense of his former employers.
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful.
The Hoops have won five of their last six to cement their spot at the top of the table and have been beaten just once at Loftus Road throughout the campaign, so are unlikely to pass up the opportunity to go an almost insurmountable 13 points clear of third-placed Cardiff against such dreadful travellers.
Sheffield United have recorded impressive home wins over Nottingham Forest and Leeds recently, yet have claimed only one of the last 30 points at their disposal on the road and have failed to score in seven of those games, rendering odds of [2.4] on the leaders beating them to nil hugely tempting.
The strugglers have triumphed in just one of their six collisions with Warnock since his exit and were defeated 3-0 at Bramall Lane by the west Londoners in August to prompt the sacking of boss Kevin Blackwell, a decision questioned by Betfair Football at the time and that looks even more dubious now.
