Stats and Facts v Sheffield United!

Our next match is against a very on form Sheffield United, and we need to get all three points to still be in for a chance to get Champions League this season… Will we get it?

We have played Sheffield United only once in the Premier League, and that was earlier on in this season when Harvey Barnes’ 70th minute thunderstruck, a contestant for best Leicester goal of the season, saw us get a 2-1 win!

Leicester City will look to respond after their 4-1 defeat at AFC Bournemouth and reassert themselves in the race for a top-four finish.

In the last five matches, Leicester have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2, with one of those’s losses coming from the weekend when Bournemouth smashed us to peices, and we need to bounce back!
