Leicester City
- Leicester City have won 2 and drawn 1 of their last 3 Championship matches, improving under new coach Martí Cifuentes.
- Martí Cifuentes has been in charge of the Foxes since July 2025 and has gradually introduced a possession-based approach that relies on the movement of players to change the positions of the ball, creating angles and overloading one side of the field while pressing the other.
- His team has won 3, drawn 4, and lost just 1 of their 8 home Championship matches so far, conceding just 7 goals at the King Power.
- This Leicester City vs Sheffield United prediction highlights that Leicester are 10th in the Championship table with 24 points from 16 games, 11 more than the Blades who are 22nd on 13 points.
Sheffield United
- Sheffield United have won 1, drawn 1, and lost 3 of their last 5 Championship contests, with a 3-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday ending a 4-game winless run.
- Chris Wilder’s return to the Blades bench in September 2025 saw the familiar 3-5-2 system installed almost immediately, with overlapping centre-backs and wide overloads.
- Sheffield United have won 3 and lost 6 of their 9 Championship away games this season, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game.
Key Players
