Leicester v Sheffield United: match preview

Leicester v Sheffield United
Leicester v Sheffield United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

A deflating season for Sheffield United reached a low on Friday with word of Chris Wilder’s departure as manager. With relegation looming, the players have to find something to fight for without the manager who has been driving them for the last five years. While the visitors’ sights are on impressing a new manager and, most likely, preparing for next season, Leicester are firmly focused on securing a place in the top four. Last week’s win at Brighton was a welcome boost and they will expect to build on that and record their first home win since beating Liverpool a month ago. Paul Doyle
