Sheffield United's David Weir wary of Preston North End

David Weir believes that Preston North End will provide a stern test for his Sheffield United side on Saturday.

Sheffield United manager David Weir believes that defeating Preston North End on Saturday will not be easy.

The Blades will host Simon Grayson's side at Bramall Lane in their League One clash, having lost their last four league matches.

"Preston are very good and very well-organised," he told reporters. "They have had a couple of good results recently.

"They are strong and physical and have a good manager. They will be a really tough test for us.

"They will be full of confidence and will be expecting to win here. We are not winning at the moment, so it will be difficult for us. They are in good form."

United are currently fourth from bottom in the league table, while Preston are fifth in the standings.
