How Leicester City could line up against Sheffield United

On the back of a rare week off, Brendan Rodgers will be hoping that his Leicester City side can overcome bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United on Sunday.

The Foxes were eliminated from the Europa League last month and have therefore had an eight-day rest since beating Brighton & Hove Albion.

However, the time off has not really helped to ease Rodgers's injury concerns.

James Justin (knee), Dennis Praet (thigh), Wes Morgan (back), James Maddison (groin), Harvey Barnes (knee) and Cengiz Under (knock) are all still absent for this contest.

Centre-back Jonny Evans (calf) and Ayoze Perez (knee) have a chance of being fit, but Rodgers is unlikely to gamble on the pair's fitness.

Of those fit and available, Kelechi Iheanacho seems certain to retain his place up top after scoring in back-to-back Premier League games.

Sidnei Tavares made his full top-flight debut last weekend and is another who will be confident of starting, as will Jamie Vardy, despite netting just once in his last 14 matches.

Leicester possible starting lineup: Schmeichel; Amartey, Fofana, Soyuncu; Pereira, Tielemans, Ndidi, Tavares, Castagne; Vardy, Iheanacho
