Sheffield United Preview

Leicester City vs Sheffield United

14th September 2004, 7.45pm

Sheffield United are a team that pushed us all the way last time we were in the division, and are certainly capable of challenging for the top places in the division again.
This match is a chance for Micky Adams' side to build on the encouraging finish at Rotherham, and finally score a goal at the Walkers Stadium! I think much of the game will depend on how Sheffield United start the game. They will need to start well, and demotivate Leicester's players, as I believe Leicester players will start the game with some confidence.
Sheffield United are a strong side, and are capable of spoiling a party at the Walkers Stadium, but they will also be feeling a little low, having conceded a late winner to West Ham on Saturday.
Something that could turn a draw into a win tomorrow night, could be the crowd. If the team look to be struggling, cheer them on. When Leicester City played Blackburn at home last season, the match was dire, and boring! Yet, the Blue Army chanted for pretty much the whole of the second half, leading up to the goals that won the match.

DON'T GET ON THEIR BACK .... KEEP THE FAITH!
