THE PREDICTION

Despite missing a number of key players through injury, Leicester battled through to secure a 1-2 win away at Brighton last weekend and they remain third in the Premier League, five points ahead of fifth place. They have a golden opportunity to hammer that spot down further against rock bottom Sheffield Utd. The Blades went down 0-2 to Southampton last time out and whilst they may relish playing with no pressure on them with their fate all but sealed, the ability of this Leicester team even without the likes of Harvey Barnes and James Maddison makes for a formidable opposition. Ultimately with home advantage in their favour, the Foxes should simply prove too strong for their opponents here and are expected to pick up the three points.
