It may not be easy to do so at the moment, but us Leicester City supporters have got to stick by the club and the team. And I suppose we should back manager Marti Cifuentes as well - for now! However, as I previously indicated in an earlier article on our website today, loss to Sheffield United at King Power Stadium of all places would surely be the final nail in the Catalan's coffin, so to speak.
I don't think chairman Aiyawatt (Khun Top) Srivaddhanaprabha would be able to stand the 'toxic atmosphere' should that unwelcome and undesirable event occur. That eventuality would surely mean Top would make a decision similar to the one he made when Claude Puel's awkward LCFC tenure came to an end. This means that the upcoming fixture versus the Blades on Saturday lunchtime is a big one.
I'll waffle no more and get down to the particulars!
Leicester City vs Sheffield United
Television coverage, streaming sites, date and kick-off time
OK, this one starts at 12:30pm United Kingdom time. The date is Saturday, November 29.
You can watch the game on Sky Sports + in the UK, because it isn't on at 3pm during the sports broadcast Blackout. That measure is in place to increase spectatorship.
Injuries and predicted XI
Now for the juicy stuff! There were some crucial pieces of information via Cifuentes' press conference. First of all, Ben Nelson should be back in team training soon; we need him to return as soon as possible.

Secondly, Harry Souttar has returned to practice with his teammates. It would be nice to see him among the substitutes at some point. Caleb Okoli is unfortunately unavailable.
Victor Kristiansen and Aaron Ramsey remain sidelined. Jakub Stolarczyk is a doubt. My predicted lineup is therefore below:
Begovic; L.Thomas, Faes, Vestergaard, Ricardo; Winks, James; Mavididi, De Cordova-Reid, Fatawu; Daka.
