Naturally the Blades will look on that defeat to the Millers with some hope of claiming all three points against a strong Foxes side who although mid-table have picked up some good form under there new manager Craig Levain.

The Blades welcome back Paddy Kenny who has served the last of his three match suspension and could be included in the squad to face the Foxes, however loan signing Ian Bennett has pulled some great performances between the sticks during his spell and will be favourite to keep his place.

Striker Danny Cadamarteri is likely to start upfront after an explosive performance against Cardiff and Coventry whilst Luke Beckett should make the bench.

As for the visitors Leicester will be keen to get back on track after Rotherham won 1-0 at the Walkers Stadium, this there only second win this season.
