Sheffield United could have Enda Stevens (knee) and Ethan Ampadu (knock) available for the visit of Leicester City. Jack O'Connell (knee) remains a long-term absentee.

Leicester will check on Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira, Wes Morgan and Daniel Amartey, while Wilfred Ndidi returned from injury in midweek and could feature.

But Timothy Castagne (hamstring) is still a major doubt.

Sheff Utd can inflict on Leicester a third consecutive loss to a team in the bottom three. The Foxes were beaten by AFC Bournemouth last season, and lost to Fulham on Monday.

The Blades are the first Premier League team to have won one point or fewer from their opening 10 matches of a season.

No player has scored more PL goals away from home this season than the seven of Jamie Vardy, with 88 per cent of his strikes this term coming on the road.

Leicester have won their last five meetings with Sheff Utd in all competitions, including both Premier League matches last term.
