Following a comeback victory over Brighton & Hove Albion last Saturday, secured via Daniel Amartey's late winner, Brendan Rodgers' side are aiming to record back-to-back league wins when the visitors from Yorkshire arrive on Filbert Way.

The Blades, meanwhile, face an away fixture for the first time since 20 February and will be looking to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Southampton last time out.

What happened last time?

Jamie Vardy's 90th-minute goal ensured the Foxes would take all three points from their trip to Bramall Lane in December. Ayoze Pérez had given Leicester an early lead, which was wiped out by Ollie McBurnie, but City's No.9 was on hand to fire the visitors back in front late on.

A two-minute highlights package will be posted on LCFC TV approximately two hours after full-time, which is available for free to Digital Members on the Club's official website (free sign-up).

Leicester City's official social media channels will post short clips from the day's action, while a full highlights video will be published on LCFC.com at midnight following the fixture.
