Sheffield United 4-1 Preston: Anel Ahmedhodzic, John Fleck, Iliman Ndiaye and Oli McBurnie net for Blades as Lilywhites' play-off hopes are ended at Bramall Lane

Anel Ahmedhodzic is poised to become a father imminently but, as his overdue wife waits to give birth to their first child, the defender continues to take centre stage for Sheffield United.

The Bosnia international, who has enjoyed an outstanding campaign for Paul Heckingbottom’s men, was on target in Wednesday’s 2-0 home win over West Brom which clinched their place in the Premier League.

He was at it again against Preston, heading home a first-half opener for his seventh goal of the season as another promotion party got underway at a raucous Bramall Lane.
