The chances of survival are still very slim for Chris Wilder\u2019s men this season, yet a win against the team who currently sits 3rd in the table could just be what The Blades need to make a real fight to stay up. A win away at Leicester and a loss for West Brom away at Crystal Palace could see Sheffield United just one point off 19th.<br \/>\nLeicester City will hope their growing list of injuries to starting players won\u2019t take its toll on the team performance, while Sheffield United with their own injury problems, will hope the return of Phil Jagielka sparks more confidence in the team.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33674\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33674\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33674\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2021\/03\/Sheffield-United-Vs-Leicester-City-Infographics-5-200x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-33674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The previous meetings between the two sides.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Sunday<\/strong> 2pm Sky Sports Main Event<\/p>\n<p><strong>Venue<\/strong> King Power Stadium<br \/>\n<strong>Last seaso<\/strong>n Leicester 2-0 Sheffield United<br \/>\n<strong>Referee<\/strong> Peter Bankes<br \/>\n<strong>Odds<\/strong> H 1-2 D 16-5 A 6-1<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sheffield United<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Subs from<\/strong> Sharp, Mousset, Lowe, Burke, Foderingham, Osborn, Brewster, Ndiaye, Maguire<br \/>\n<strong>Doubtful<\/strong> Bogle (match fitness)<br \/>\n<strong>Injured<\/strong> Berge (thigh, 20 Mar), Basham (thigh, 21 Mar), Egan (toe, Apr), O\u2019Connell (knee, unknown)<br \/>\n<strong>Suspended<\/strong> None<br \/>\n<strong>Discipline<\/strong> Y53 R3<br \/>\n<strong>Form<\/strong> LLDDWL<br \/>\n<strong>Leading scorer<\/strong> McGoldrick 6<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leicester<\/strong> <strong>City<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Subs<\/strong> <strong>from<\/strong> Thomas, Choudhury, Albrighton, Flynn, Daley-Campbell, Ward, Leshabela, Tavares<br \/>\n<strong>Doubtful<\/strong> Perez (knee), Evans (match fitness)<br \/>\n<strong>Injured<\/strong> Praet (thigh, 3 Apr), Barnes (knee, Apr), Justin (knee, next season), Maddison (hip, unknown), Morgan (back, unknown)<br \/>\n<strong>Suspended<\/strong> None<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discipline<\/strong> Y50 R0<br \/>\n<strong>Form<\/strong> DWWLDW<br \/>\n<strong>Leading<\/strong> <strong>scorer<\/strong> Vardy 12<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CARL ASABA -
