Sheffield United v Leicester Betting Tips [6 December 2020]

Sheffield United play host to Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday. The Blades are in the unfortunate position of being without a win ten games into the league campaign. This sorry run leaves them bottom of the table with only one point. Leicester, meanwhile, are fourth in the table with 18 points, three behind league leaders Spurs. Varying factors are contributing to this terrible start to the season for Chris Wilder's side. The Blades have several injury concerns and miss playing in front of their passionate home support. However, the main issue might be their lack of a deadly goalscorer. Sheffield United can create openings but don't have the attacking players good enough to finish them. That may sound harsh, but four goals in ten matches is a stat that tells its own story. Sheffield United have failed to win their last seven home matches in all competitions. The majority of those games have been low-scoring, with six of the seven featuring two goals or fewer. 

Leicester are enduring their own poor run of form in the league, losing on their last two outings. There is no shame in falling to defeat at Anfield, but a home defeat to Fulham is unacceptable for a team with top-four ambitions. Leicester won their four away Premier League games preceding that reverse against Liverpool, a run that included trips to the Emirates and the Etihad. Unbeaten in eight matches against Sheffield United, Leicester look primed to return to winning ways at Bramall Lane. Back the visitors.
