Welcome to the website. Today (Wednesday, December 31 or New Year's Eve 2025) we are previewing Leicester City Football Club's New Year's Day trip to South Yorkshire. Sheffield United are arguably less intimidating hosts than certain other teams in the English Football League Championship. However, just as we used to say about the Premier League, there are no easy games in England's second division either.

Nevertheless, the Foxes must be victorious in matches like this in order to even reach the secondary goal of Playoff qualification. At this stage, automatic promotion seems to be an out of reach and fanciful wish. The Blades' position of 17th is, I am sure, a concern as well as an annoyance for the SUFC fan base. Just as it would be on Filbert Way. Though City must not make the mistake of underestimating their opponents' low placing in the form of complacency.

On this occasion, I will run you through all the important particulars prior to kick-off at the Bramall Lane venue. First of all, I will detail and assess fitness news; including any other absentees for different reasons. Secondly, we will predict the potential Foxes starting lineup. In addition to those factors, I will also look up the viewing information, not to mention the kick-off time. You're welcome!
