Leicester City come into the match having defeated Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 away from home last weekend. Having fallen a goal behind early in the game, it would have been easy for a depleted at Leicester City team to go on and lose the game but they had other ideas.
An equalising goal in the 62nd minute was followed by the winning strike with only 3 minutes remaining on the clock.
It was an important victory for Leicester City who had failed to win any of their previous 3 games in all competitions. Having been eliminated from the Europa League at the hands of Slavia Prague, The Foxes were defeated at home by Arsenal in the Premier League and then held to a 1-1 draw at Burnley.
Trends show there are no losses for Leicester City in 17 of their most recent 20 games in all competitions. There have been over 2.5 goals in Leicester City's last 3 home Premier League matches and both teams have scored in the last 3 at the King Power Stadium.
Sheffield United come into the game having suffered a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Southampton last weekend. It was a huge game for The Blades and the defeat means they are surely going to be relegated this season.
Despite having picked up a good 1-0 victory over Aston Villa at home recently, Sheffield United have lost 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches.
They have lost each of their last 3 Premier League games away from home and have picked up just a single victory from their 19 most recent league matches on the road.
Trends show Sheffield United have conceded 1 or more goals in all of their last 18 away league games and they need to make huge improvements at the back to get something from this match.
Team news and Leicester City will be without Harvey Barnes, James Maddison, James Justin, Dennis Praet, and Wes Morgan due to injury. Cengiz Ünder, Jonny Evans, and Ayoze Perez are doubts.
Sheffield United travel without the injured Chris Basham, John Egan, Sander Berge, and Jack O'Connell. Jack Rodwell and Jack Robinson are both doubtful.
Leicester City will be feeling confident of picking up the victory following their win last weekend.
Sheffield United have been dreadful away from home and even if they manage to score a goal in this game, it is the hosts who are clear favourites to take maximum points.
