Queens Park Rangers will be aiming to build on their play-off push when they entertain fellow promotion contenders Sheffield United at Loftus Road on Saturday afternoon.

After a poor defeat away to Portsmouth, the R’s have seen themselves slip to 14th in the second tier, but Marti Cifuentes’ men remain just seven points outside the top six, with a late run of consistent results required to make a promotion-chasing charge.

It will be difficult to start such a run against the Blades, however, who will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to table-topping Leeds United and strengthen their grip on an automatic promotion place.

QPR will be buoyed by the fact they have won their last two home meetings in the Championship, and they will be looking to spring an upset after recently toppling another promotion rival in Blackburn Rovers.

With Saturday’s clash vital to both sides, Football League World’s QPR fan pundit has outlined which Sheffield United player he fears coming up against.

Speaking to Football League World, QPR fan pundit Louis Moir believes the R’s will have a tricky afternoon keeping Blades wideman Jesurun Rak-Sakyi quiet, with the Crystal Palace loanee one of the top talents in the Championship.

Moir said: “Sheffield United have a lot of talent, and you look at their squad thinking that will be really disappointing, if not embarrassing, for them if they don’t go on to get automatic promotion, as the depth they have is pretty ridiculous.

“The one player I’m quite fearful of is definitely Jes Rak-Sakyi. He’s a player we were apparently looking to sign, but Sheffield United had offered higher loan and wage fees. It’s a shame we couldn’t get hold of him as I think he’s a cracking player.

“We’ve seen what he did at Charlton in League One, and he’s clearly good enough for this level, and he’s so dangerous on the wing. We have to be on it to contain him as if he’s on it, he’ll cause any side in this league problems.

“I think Sheffield United are lucky they can have him and going back to his parent club, Crystal Palace, they’ve got a top player on their hands too, so we’ve got to be wary, as if we’re not on it and he and Sheffield United are, we could be in a bit of bother, but hopefully we can keep Rak-Sakyi quiet.”

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi will be key in QPR, Sheffield United clash

QPR are right to be fearful of Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, with the young winger able to turn a Championship game on its head with his superb talent and ability.

The 22-year-old is making a name for himself in the Championship, scoring six goals and providing two assists from 27 appearances.

Very dangerous off the right-hand side, Rak-Sakyi possesses the ability to cut in on his favoured left foot to open himself up for a shot and has proven to be successful on a number of occasions.
