- 90'+5'That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
- 90'+5'This victory moves Leicester up to third in the table and their next game is against AEK Athens on Thursday in the Europa League, before turning their attentions back to the Premier League next weekend when they face Brighton and Hove Albion. Meanwhile Sheffield United remain bottom, with just one point from their 11 games and they face Southampton next time out.
- 90'+5'Leicester clinch all three points, with a 2-1 victory over Sheffield United after Vardy’s 90th minute winner. It looked like it would finish all square after first half goals from Perez and McBurnie, with few opportunities in the second half for either side. However, Vardy popped up right at the end, latching onto the end of a Maddison pass and he raced clear and fired it past Ramsdale.
- 90'+5'Late corner here for United, with Ramsdale coming up for it, but Leicester manage to clear the danger and that should be that.
- 90'+5'FULL-TIME: SHEFFIELD UNITED 1-2 LEICESTER CITY
- 90'+4'Final Leicester substitution now, with Maddison coming off and he has been replaced by Praet.
- 90'+2'Another late yellow card, this time it is shown to Maddison as he tries to slow down a United counter-attack.
- 90'+1'Vardy is booked for his celebrations as he kicks down the corner flag.
- 90'Fleck took a poor touch on the half way line and Leicester win it back, with Maddison then spotting the run of his striker and that United were playing a high line, which is perfect for Vardy.
- 90'GOOOAAALLL! Leicester nick a goal right at the end to make it 2-1! Vardy with a superb goal, pouncing on a lovely ball through by Maddison and the striker races through, outpacing Egan and then curling it past Ramsdale and into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
- 88'Leicester just haven't been able to produce the same amount of quality on the ball in this second period as they did in the first half and it looks like the two sides may share the points.
- 86'Only four minutes plus any additional time left on the clock now, can someone pop up with a winner late on?
- 84'Good effort! Brewster tries to catch Schmeichel off his line with a chip over the top from around around 40 yards out. However, the Leicester keeper has it covered and sees it out of play.
- 83'Brewster should inject some pace into the attack of this United team, if they can get the ball to him in-behind then Leicester may well be in trouble.
- 81'Third and final substitution by the hosts now, with Burke the man coming off and he has been replaced by Brewster.
- 80'Almost! Really good pressure by United and Burke wins it back, before racing down the right and he only has to play a decent cross to McBurnie in the box and the striker was in. Unfortunately his pass is poor and Schmeichel can clear. It wouldn't have counted anyway as Burke was offside.
- 79'There is still plenty of time for either side to go on and win this game, with Leicester looking the more likely at the moment, but United could be dangerous on the counter.
- 77'Good strike! Fuchs with a powerful strike from the edge of the penalty area, but it just has too much on it and it flies narrowly over the crossbar.
- 75'Almost! Ramsdale has to react quickly after a long ball comes over the top of the United defence and Vardy tries to latch onto it. However, the keeper heads it clear in the nick of time. Otherwise, Vardy would have been through clear on goal.
- 73'Since the start of 2015/16, only Olivier Giroud has more PL goals as a sub than Iheanacho (8). Only Giroud (83) has made more apps as a sub than Iheanacho in that time (81).
- 71'Decent chance! Ramsdale plays a poor ball out from the back and Leicester win it back, counter-attacking and Vardy almost gets on the end of a low cross, but Basham gets across well and the chance goes away.
- 69'Leicester make a double substitution, with Mendy coming off and he has been replaced by Ndidi.
- 69'The other change by the visitors sees Iheanacho come onto the pitch and he has been replaced Perez.
- 68'CHANCE! Ramsdale gets away with a mistake after he initially drops a cross into the box and it falls straight to the feet of Tielemans, who blasts a shot towards goal. However, the United keeper tries to make up for his error and dives in, blocking the effort and sending it over the crossbar.
- 66'Not too far away! McBurnie once again gets on the end of a corner delivery into the box, getting away from Justin and powering a header towards goal. However, he just gets too much on it and it flies over the crossbar.
- 64'Norwood's first piece of action is to whip a free-kick into the penalty area, however, his ball is too close to Schmeichel and the Leicester keeper easily gathered.
- 63'Another substitution by United, with Lundstram replaced by Norwood.
- 63'Fuchs is shown a yellow card as he dives into a tackle and stops Lundstram in his tracks, just as the midfielder tried to break forward on the counter.
- 62'There hasn't been an awful lot of quality in this second half so far, with neither team able to really test the opposition keeper and most of the possession is in the middle of the pitch, away from the final third.
- 60'Six of McBurnie's seven Premier League goals have been scored at home, including two against Leicester.
- 58'This is better from United, they are starting to enjoy some possession of their own and Leicester are now the side sitting deep and defending. It's still 1-1 as we approach the hour mark.
- 56'Decent move! Fleck manages to break past a couple of Leicester players and then tries to feed Burke in-behind, but there is too much pace on his pass and Schmeichel comes out and gathers.
- 55'Leicester could move up to third in the Premier League table with a victory today, whilst if Sheffield United can pick up three points, they will remain bottom, be they would only be two points behind Fulham in 17th.
- 53'McBurnie once again gets above his marker, but this time he clatters into Fuchs in the process and gives away a free-kick deep inside the Leicester half.
- 51'McBurnie has covered a lot of ground for the hosts today, both in attack and whilst defending, by putting the Leicester defenders under a lot of pressure. The striker has also been key at set pieces, a real aerial asset to help defend balls into the box.
- 49'Decent strike! The ball falls to Albrighton just inside the box after McBurnie cleared a cross at the near post and the right wing-back fired it towards goal, however, it is straight at Ramsdale, who comfortably gathers.
- 45'+2'Leicester will feel that they should be ahead, after creating more chances but they have once again come undone at a corner and they have now conceded a league high of seven goals from corners.
- 48'Sheffield United are winless in their last 13 Premier League games, losing 12 of those. They last had a longer run without a league win between December 2010-March 2011 (14 games).
- 45'+2'It's all square at the break, after two goals in two minutes. Perez fired Leicester into the lead, with a powerful finish from close range after Albrighton’s blocked shot fell straight to his feet. However, McBurnie leveled the score line with a header just two minutes later. The visitors have had the better chances, with Vardy and Maddison striking the woodwork, whilst Burke should have tested Schmeichel when he raced through on goal, but he lost his footing.
- 45'+2'HALF-TIME: SHEFFIELD UNITED 1-1 LEICESTER CITY
- 46'Sheffield United have made a substitution ahead of the second half, with Lowe replaced, perhaps due to his booking and he has been replaced by Osborn.
- 46'The second half is under way!
- 45'There will be a minimum of two minutes added time played at the end of the first half.
- 44'Poor challenge! Lowe with a late challenge on Perez, taking the legs of the Leicester man and he really should be booked and shown a second yellow card. However, only a free-kick is given.
- 43'Almost! Perez with a superb low cross into the box from the right, aiming for Justin at the far post, but he can only just reach it and chips it back into the middle for a team-mate, but the hosts clear the danger.
- 42'At the moment it doesn't look like either team and going to be able to go into the break ahead as the pace is quite slow, with Leicester just controlling the ball in midfield.
- 40'There's not long left to play before the end of the first half now, can either side score another and put themselves ahead before the half-time whistle?
- 38'Lowe is shown the first yellow card of the game as he brings down Tielemans as the Leicester man looked to break forward quickly on the counter.
- 36'Stoppage in play now as McBurnie takes a whack in the face following a free-kick and he is down receiving some medical treatment. However, it looks like he will be fine to continue.
- 35'Tielemans complains about a grab and shove on him by Egan as a Maddison free-kick is whipped into the penalty area. However, the referee isn't interested and waves away his appeals.
- 34'Since the two goals, we haven't seen any more chances at goal for either team, as the game has settled down again and the pace has dropped in the last five minutes or so.
- 32'We're past the half an hour mark here at Bramall Lane and it remains 1-1 between Sheffield United and Leicester City.
- 30'United seem to have a bit more confidence now, they are starting to get on the ball more and have stopped Leicester from playing it out from the back with a high press.
- 28'Leicester have lost consecutive Premier League games for the sixth time under Rodgers – they’ve not lost three in a row in the competition since their final three under Claude Puel in February 2019.
- 26'Leicester have a poor record at set pieces, they concede a lot of goals, so the corner delivery from Lundstram was vital and McBurnie did the rest with a lovely finish.
- 26'GOOOAAALLL! McBurnie levels the scoreline, it's 1-1! It has taken just two minutes for United to respond and that is just what the hosts needed. Lundstram whips a good corner delivery into the penalty area and McBurnie rises above a couple of Leicester defenders and powers his header into the bottom left-hand corner of the net.
- 24'GOOOAAALLL! Leicester lead 1-0! United fall to deal with a cross into the box from the right wing, it falls to Albrighton at the far post, who sees his shot blocked, but the rebound falls straight to the feet of Perez, who smashes it home from just a couple of yards out. Ramsdale got a hand to it, but there was too much power on the shot to keep it out.
- 22'United need to pick up the pace when they do win the ball and try and counter, as they can create opportunities with the pace of their attackers, as shown by the Burke chance.
- 21'CHANCE! Great move for United but Burke can't finish! Berge with a lovely run in midfield, he races past a couple of Leicester players before flicking it to McBurnie, who then feeds Burke in-behind and he only has Schmeichel to beat. However, his first touch is poor and then he loses his balance and falls to the ground, which allows Schmeichel time to gather. He should have scored.
- 19'CHANCE! Fuchs plays a superb ball in-behind to Vardy, who races through on goal, but it is a tight angle and he has to stop and try and find a team-mate in box. However, the linesman has his flag up for offside, which is the correct decision as Vardy just made his run slightly too early.
- 18'The front two of Sheffield United have hardly touched the ball so far, they are having to sit deep and do a lot of defending in this opening period of the game.
- 16'High press from Leicester and they win the ball back deep inside the United half of the pitch, but they are unable to counter and the opportunity comes to nothing.
- 14'In all competitions, Sheffield United are winless in their last eight games against Leicester (D2 L6) since a 3-0 home win in the Championship in April 2008. The Blades have also lost each of their last three at home against Leicester.
- 12'The hosts are having to sit in a back five when they are defending at the moment, as Leicester are just starting to put the pressure on in the final third.
- 8'The pace of the game is quite slow at the moment, with neither team really pushing forward with any intent to try and score an early goal.
- 6'Couple of corners here for United in the space of a few seconds, can they create an opportunity and test Schmeichel in the Leicester goal? The visitors clear the initial danger, but the hosts keep the ball in the final third, but it comes to nothing.
- 5'Sheffield United have struggled to goals so far this season and they have the worst conversion rate in the Premier League, whilst Leicester have the best. The Blades are going to need to start picking up wins soon, before the gap at the bottom becomes too much.
- 3'Leicester with the early possession here, but United are pressing them high up the pitch and are making it difficult for them to get the ball up to Vardy and Maddison.
- 1'We're under way!
- -The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is just a few minutes away, stay tuned for all the match action!
