Despite many predicting Sheffield to fail in the Premier League, the team from the steel city have made a great start to their latest top flight journey.
A 1-1 draw away at Bournemouth was a great prelude to their 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Leicester, despite not winning, can also be pretty pleased with the way things have started. A 0-0 home draw with Wolves was regarded as a slow start however, their following 1-1 draw away at Chelsea was seen as a positive step forward.
This is a really interesting game yet the bookmakers strongly fancy Leicester to win away at Bramall Lane. Priced at 6/5, it’s clear the Foxes are in the bookies good books.
However, we don’t think that Chris Wilder’s side are going to make their life so easy. United are intent on turning their home ground into a fortress; something they proved in that first game against Palace.
Therefore, our recommendation is to back a draw. With the tie being priced at 9/4 it not only offers value but it does seem like a realistic outcome.
