Relegated Sheffield United got off to a winning start back in the Championship with a comfortable victory at Preston.
United's win was their first since 10 February and gave them a first clean sheet in a league match in 2024. Ryan Lowe's Preston ended last season with a club-record five straight defeats without scoring and this opening-day reverse extends that run.Blades boss Chris Wilder gave debuts to four of his six summer signings from the start but it was a homegrown player who put them in front after 12 minutes as Arblaster, 20, scored his first goal for the club with the aid of a big deflection.
Sheffield United have won 49 of their 110 league games against Preston, their highest win rate against any of the 19 sides they’ve faced 100+ times in their history .
