The side is sitting now on the eighth place in the Championship table with 49 points taken after 31 matches behind.

In the recent fights conducted on the road Sheffield Utd have lost to Wolves 0:3, broke Norwich 2:1 and Ipswich 1:0.
It is obvious that Leicester City’s level is higher than the one of Sheffield Utd as “The Foxes” perform in a higher division plus they are in a good shape, thus, “The Blues” are likely to knock out “The Blades”.
Prediction for the match: Leicester City to win.
