They're approaching half-time at Ewood Park, where Preston appear to have weathered the strongest periods of the Blackburn storm so far.

It's all gone a bit scrappy since the early opener for the hosts.

25 minutes gone at Bramall Lane, still one zero to the Blades.

Blackburn are on top with seven shots to Preston's two, but the only stat that matters at the moment is that the visitors still leads thanks to Daniel Johnson's early goal.

Fans are already beginning to arrive at Loftus Road. It's still more than two hours to kick-off lads!

Dedication with a capital D.

Rotherham are enjoying a good spell of possession.

Ben Wiles has a low shot which is easily saved by Dean Henderson. Better from the visitors though.

The Blades still lead through that fifth-minute Jack O'Connell goal.

Andrew Barnes: As a Blackburn fan these last seven games have been nothing short of pathetic. After a fantastic January we've dropped from top 8 to bottom 8. The players should be taking responsibility to change this slump but every week it's the same old rubbish.

There's a long, long way to go in this game just yet... But have a little look at how important this scoreline could be for Preston.

They're leapfrogging four teams at present, and all those four teams are playing each other over the course of this weekend, so they can't all win!

As ever, we'd love to hear your thought's throughout the afternoon.

Don't forget, the Blades had won six league games in a row at Bramall Lane before today. It may well be seven in 90 minutes or so.

That my friends, is promotion form.

A good save from North End keeper Declan Rudd denies Danny Graham, before Charlie Mulgrew almost scores direct from the subsequent corner (again?! It's becoming his trademark!) but it's just wide.

Unfortunately, rights restrictions mean we can't bring you live EFL radio commentary online.

However, if you're in one of the relevant local areas right now, you can follow either of these matches live on your trusty old radio! Listen in and enjoy.

Rovers have responded really well to going behind. They're putting on some real pressure, as they bid to get straight back on terms.

Here we go then. The Blades are in their traditional red and white stripes, Rotherham are wearing their third kit - yellow with a smattering of blue.

Can Sheffield United move back into the automatic promotion places with victory?

A point would take Rotherham out of the relegation zone - for a few hours at least.

It's a second goal in as many games for Daniel Johnson and it's dampened the mood around most of Ewood Park for the time being.

The Blades make four changes from Monday's goalless at Hillsborough. George Baldock, Mark Duffy, David McGoldrick and Scott Hogan all come in.

Ben Wiles replaces Richie Towell and Joe Newell starts instead of Anthony Forde for the Millers.

Both teams are on their way out.

Sheff Utd XI: Henderson, Baldock, Stevens, Fleck, O'Connell, Basham, Hogan, Egan, Norwood, McGoldrick, Duffy.

Rotherham XI: Rodak, Mattock, Vaulks, Ajayi, Taylor, Robertson, Ihiekwe, Newell, Smith, Wiles, Jones.

After good work from Bradley Dack, Adam Armstrong drags a low shot wide for the home side, who have made arguably the slightly brighter start.

The high-flying Blades go into this south Yorkshire derby in fine form. They're unbeaten in seven and have won six in a row at home.

The problem is, the top two, Norwich and Leeds, don't lose many either!

Rotherham are also on a decent run - unbeaten in six.

But they've only won one of their past nine matches, with loads of draws chucked in, so Paul Warne's men are hovering in the relegation zone.

It's a huge game at Bramall Lane. Kick-off is in just under 10 minutes.

Preston are bidding to complete their first league double over Blackburn since 1978-79.

They were 4-1 winners when these sides last met in November.
