QPR 1-0 Sheff Utd
Brief break in play as the Muslim players come over to the touchline to break their Ramadan fast.
We're back under way again.
QPR 1-0 Sheff Utd
Another opening for the Blades.
Sander Berge pinches it on the halfway line and storms forwards before passing in to Iliman Ndiaye on the edge of the area.
He gets the ball out of his feet but blasts his shot over.
QPR 1-0 Sheff Utd
The Blades have settled well after that Charlie Austin goal.
First they won a corner down their left and then, from the same side, Morgan Gibbs-White forced a low save from Murphy Mahoney.
They end the season against champions-elect Fulham, and Middlesbrough are breathing down their necks, so they really do need to get something from tonight's game.
QPR 1-0 Sheff Utd
That's put the cat amongst the pigeons.
QPR have to win and hope that the other teams in the play-off chase all falter this weekend to stand any chance of taking their season into the final day.
Sixth-placed Sheffield United had been on top before the goal and they just need to regain their composure and get going again.
A deep corner from Oli Norwood is again headed wide by Blades defender Chris Basham under pressure.
Charlie Austin (31 mins)
Well, well, well.
That's their first shot!
Albert Adomah jinks this way and that and then eventually hangs in a deep cross with his left foot that veteran striker Charlie Austin moves on to brilliantly to power a header home.
Textbook stuff.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
Oli Norwood gets good pressure on in the middle of the park and the loose ball breaks for John Fleck in acres of space.
The Scot advances on goal and should get a shot away with the home defenders backing off.
Fleck eventually overruns it though and the chance goes.
Shame.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
The pitchside microphones at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium are very well tuned n.
Can hear QPR boss Mark Warburton yelling out orders and encouragement almost constantly when the ball is on his side of the pitch.
This might well be his final home game as R's boss but he wants to go out with a win.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
One Oli Norwood goal was enough to settle the last game between these two teams earlier this month as the Blades claimed a vital 1-0 win at Bramall Lane.
It's still early days but... I could see this one being settled by the single goal as well.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
Really not seen anything of the home side in an attacking sense yet.
Their season has fallen away really badly since January, mainly because of injuries to some key men like striker Lyndon Dykes.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
First decent chance goes to the away side.
Enda Stevens thumps an effort on goal that Sam Field gets a block on after the Blades moved the ball around the QPR area with ease.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
Sheffield United's myriad of injuries in the forward positions means they're playing a fluid front three, with Morgan Gibbs0White and Iliman Ndiaye operating as strikers and Norway international midfielder Sander Berge looking to get up to support them as quickly as he can when the Blades get possession.
Berge had a good run through the middle a few moments ago but the pass was overhit.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
The away side have had the better of the opening exchanges as you would maybe have expected.
They win the first corner of the game but Chris Basham heads wide at the back stick under some pressure.
QPR 0-0 Sheff Utd
Richard Taylor: I'm a Blade and think we need four more points to make the top six. Do I think we'll do it? Hopefully yes, but not overly confident!
Think four points should be enough Richard, but the way this season has gone in the Championship you can't be sure!

QPR v Sheff Utd (19:45 BST)
QPR give a second league start to 20-year-old goalkeeper Murphy Mahoney.
Sheffield United are unchanged but there is unwanted news. Striker and captain Billy Sharp is out of the squad with a calf injury having only returned from injury as sub in Saturday's win over Cardiff.

QPR v Sheff Utd (19:45 BST)
It has been a hugely disappointing end to the season for Mark Warburton and QPR.
The R's were in a position to challenge for automatic promotion to the Premier League at the end of January after a highly impressive start to the campaign.
However, they have won just three of their past 16 games to drop down to 10th in the table.
Even wins in their final two matches will almost certainly not be enough to take the final play-off spot.
This is Warburton's third season at the helm at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium and he will at least hope to continue the progress from 13th and ninth-placed finishes in his first two campaigns.
QPR v Sheff Utd (19:45 BST)
It was a fairly eventful day at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Thursday.
QPR boss Mark Warburton told a news conference in the morning that he expected to be leaving the club at the end of the season, with his deal set to expire and no new terms put forward.
Hours later the club confirmed the former Brentford, Rangers and Nottingham Forest gaffer would indeed be parting company with the R's this summer.
Barring an absolutely colossal play-off miracle, that means tonight will be Warburton's last game in charge of the club in a home game.
For opponents Sheffield United, a victory tonight would go a long way to ensuring their season is extended beyond next week.
Good evening and welcome to live text coverage of QPR v Sheffield United.
