Sheffield United are aiming to maintain their unbeaten start while Leicester City are targeting a first win of the season.

Team news

Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck is a doubt due to a hamstring injury in Sunday's 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.

Forward Callum Robinson is fit after a thigh problem in the same match. Ravel Morrison could be in line for his first Blades start.

Brendan Rodgers will make a late decision on left-back Ben Chilwell, who missed Leicester's draw at Chelsea with a hip complaint.

Did you know?

This will be the first Premier League meeting between these sides. Their last top-flight match was in February 1976, a 1-1 draw at Filbert Street.

Sheffield United can remain unbeaten after their first three matches for only the second time in 31 top-flight campaigns. The last time they did so was in 1971/72, when they were also a promoted side.

The Blades have had an all-British and Irish starting XI in both fixtures. The last team to do so in three consecutive Premier League matches was Norwich City in April 2012, while Wolves were the last to do so in their opening three fixtures in 2011/12.

Leicester have drawn their last three Premier League matches. Their last longer such run in the top flight was in April 1977, with four straight draws.
