by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions
As hearings continue regarding a potential breach of the profit and sustainability rules, Leicester City are keen on rising again in the Championship. Coming off their heaviest defeat of the season, Leicester will be eyeing some positivity when they host Sheffield United. Heading into this game, the Foxes are 15th in the standings, six places ahead of Sheffield. Read on for our prediction of the match.
It is not just their five defeats in the Championship that have stalled Leicester’s quest for a straight return to the Premier League. The home side has failed to win 11 of their 17 matches so far. They are, however, just three points below the top six.
The situation is much more dire at Sheffield United, who sit just a point above the relegation zone. It has been better in the past few games, though, and the Blades will be looking to reap from their momentum. Eight points separate the two sides going into this game.

Leicester - Sheffield United: Form Analysis
Leicester City returned to the Championship as one of the favorites for automatic promotion. The last time they featured in the league, they blasted their way to the top flight as champions.
This time, however, they are finding it harder, having already lost five of their opening 17 matches. The Foxes have won just six times, and their latest outing was a disaster, as they lost 3-0 to Southampton.
They had to finish the game with 10 men and are now 16 points behind the league leaders, Coventry City. Having failed to win 11 of their 17 matches, it will take a miraculous run for Leicester to earn a top-two finish.
While they’ve struggled so far, Leicester are just three points off the top six.
Sheffield United will head into this game looking to pick up from where Southampton left. Rather, they can take up from where they left off in their own 3-0 win against Portsmouth.
The Blades are enjoying their best run of the season, having gone undefeated in their last three matches. The win over Southampton marked a third straight clean sheet for the side, and it was their second win on the bounce.
This run of form has seen the team rise off the bottom three for the first time this season. On 16 points, they are one better than the 22nd placed Oxford United, so there’s still work to do.

Leicester & Sheffield United Squad Analysis
England U20 defender Bade Aluko hasn’t had a stable ride in the Leicester team. After spending considerable time on the bench this season, he was handed a first start in the Southampton game.
That, however, lasted just 33 minutes, as he was booked twice and left for an early shower. The 18-year-old will be out of contention for this game.
In attack, Leicester are expected to be led by Patson Daka, but Abdul Fatawu will be the man owning the headlines.
The Ghanaian winger has scored three and assisted four of Leicester’s goals so far. He comes into this match with a 2.54 xG rating.
Leicester City could miss up to eight players for the visit of Sheffield United.
Sheffield United have had to keep going without one of their best players this season, Ben Godfrey. A loanee from the Italian side Atalanta, Godfrey had his best game for Sheffield on matchday four, in a 1-0 loss to Charlton.
He has since been missing in action, not with injury but for personal reasons, and he is still set to sit out this one.
Apart from Godfrey, the Blades will also be without Ollie Arblaster, who is battling a knee injury. Tahith Chong is also nursing a similar injury and is a doubt here.

Leicester, on their part, failed to score in only three of their last 10 matches. Each of the Foxes’ last three matches had three goals scored, and they will hope to carry their scoring form here. In our second prediction, we are backing over 2.5 goals.
