Sheffield United’s bid to secure their first win of the Premier League season continues when they host fourth-placed Leicester City on Sunday.

Chris Wilder’s side, who are bottom of the table after losing nine of their first 10 games, had nothing to show for their efforts in the 1-0 defeat at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and will come up against a Foxes outfit sitting pretty in fourth place – although they were surprisingly beaten 2-1 by lowly Fulham at the KingPower Stadium last night.

Here’s how you can follow the game.
