Sheffield United v Leicester: match preview

Sheffield United are still looking for their first win after 10 matches. Chris Wilder was honest about his side’s shortcoming after the defeat againstWest Brom last week, when chances were created but not converted. On paper Leicester should be strong enough to prevail at Bramall Lane, especially with key players ready to return from injury, but Brendan Rodgers’ side are proving inconsistent again and the Blades will take encouragement from their past two two underwhelming performances in the league.
