Leicester vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Leicester City will be visited by Sheffield United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. This is an important game especially for Leicester City, as Brendan Rodgers’ team can use the points well with a view to Champions League qualification.
Leicester City:
Rodgers’ Leicester City is still in the race for a Champions League ticket and would also like to qualify for next season’s Champions League. Last season, Leicester narrowly missed Champions League qualification and The Foxes want to prevent that this season. Along with Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea, Leicester City also has the best papers to grab one of the four Champions League tickets to be distributed. Still, Chelsea and Leicester City in particular have to grab the necessary points if they want to finish above West Ham United, Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.
In recent weeks, The Foxes have dropped the necessary points in the Premier League. For example, Arsenal (1-3) was too strong for Leicester two weeks ago. Leicester then also lost points on a visit to Burnley midweek. Last weekend, Leicester managed to grab three points on a visit to Brighton & Hove Albion. Early in the game, The Foxes fell 1-0 in the seaside resort. Kelechi Iheanacho and Daniel Amartey made sure in the second half that Leicester still got three points from the game in South East England.
Sheffield United:
There is little left for Sheffield United to achieve in the remainder of this season. The Blades are stiff at the bottom of the Premier League and have actually already resigned themselves to relegation to the Championship. Sheffield United is already twelve points behind in seventeenth place and will never close that gap again. Of those 28 league games Sheffield played this season, it managed to win only four. That actually says enough. It was certainly not always good for Chris Wilder’s team, but Sheffield United will rightly be relegated at the bottom of the line.
No fewer than five of the last six games Sheffield United played were lost to The Blades. Only in the game with Aston Villa (1-0), Sheffield United managed to achieve a good result on Wednesday. A few days later, Wilder’s team, on the other hand, again lost 0-2 against Southampton. At Sheffield United they hope that Chris Basham will be back at King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Phil Jagielka will return from a suspension at The Blades this weekend.
