The visiting Leicester City side should be favourites in this visit to Sheffield United, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their ten league games this season.
- Sheffield United is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Leicester City have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded away.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game, against Zorya, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Leicester City.
Sheffield United form and stats
Sheffield United, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Premier League, have collected 1 point from their Premier League home games so far after 0-1-4. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sheffield United, their manager C. Wilder and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 261 minutes without scoring a league goal. D. McGoldrick was the last player to find the net.
The fans are hoping that Sheffield will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Premier League game against West Bromwich Albion (placed 18th). Preceding that match was the home game against West Ham United that was lost 0-1.
Sheffield have scored 1 goal here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. On the other hand, Sheffield United have conceded 6 goals.
