  1. YELLOW CARD

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Sheffield United full-back Femi Seriki is booked for delaying the restart.

  2. 'Leicester running out of time'

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Matty Fryatt
    Former Leicester City striker on Radio Leicester

    Leicester have got to do things a lot quicker and they've got to be a lot brighter.

    They're running out of time for a lifeline.

    Luke: The revival under Chris Wilder is working like I hoped it would. Leicester have been by far flat, lethargic and lacklustre. But the Blades are very much in the ascendancy. Keep it up, Blades!

    A victory tonight would leave the Blades eight points off the play-off places with 21 games of the season to go...

    Heading into the final 10 minutes.

    Leicester are just about still in this game but they'll need to get a goal back soon if they're to set up a grandstand finish and so far they have had zero shots on target.

  5. SUBSTITUTION

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Not what Leicester want to see.

    Last season's Championship player of the season Gus Hamer is on for the final 15 or so minutes.

    Andre Brooks, who has had a very good game, takes a seat.

  6. Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Leicester are finally starting to look like they want to take part in this football match now.

    A cross from the left is hacked at by Tyler Bindon but home keeper Michael Cooper is quickly off his line to make sure it doesn't drop to a Foxes man.

  7. 'Leicester fans not happy'

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Rob Staton
    BBC Radio Sheffield

    The chant is now 'you're getting sacked in the morning' from the Leicester fans.

    They're giving off a vibe of a team that are going nowhere under this leadership.

  8. Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    The Foxes win another corner, down their left this time, and there's some appeals for a penalty before Ben Nelson slices a shot over the crossbar.

  9. Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    And just as I say that, Leicester win a corner, play it short and the hosts batter it clear.

  10. Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    The away side finally putting a bit of pressure on the home goal.

  11. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    The away side make another double change.

    Teenagers Jeremy Monga and Louis Page are on for Stephy Mavididi and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

  12. YELLOW CARD

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Leicester winger Stephy Mavididi, who has just not got in this game at all, is booked for a misjudged foul.

  13. Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Calllum O'Hare (right) challenging for the ball alongside Domingos Ricardo Pereira who has his leg in the air as the ball bounces in the airPA Media

    The home side catch Leicester napping from a corner for not the first time this evening.

    This time Callum O'Hare lashes his effort high and wide.

  14. Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Abdul Fatawu goes for goal from way out again.

    The Leicester's forward's shot is comfortably over the bar again.

    Michael Cooper in the home goal hasn't had a thing to do this evening. Hope he's got plenty of layers on.

    Ian: Leicester have had problems with corners since Brendan Rogers was here. Until we solve the problem, we won’t keep clean sheets.

    Stephen: Will no one rid me of this turbulent team?

    Dave: Match to match, 45 minutes to 45 minutes, which Leicester City will turn up? Nobody knows. Seems like the passive, unconfident, deep sitting, waiting to be scored against version is with us today. We'll start playing midway through the second half once we're three down.

    If Leicester fans were unhappy when it was 1-0, they are definitely not going to be happy now it's 2-0...

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Patrick Bamford's work for the day is done.

    The Sheffield United striker, whose short-term deal is up in 10 days, is off and Tyrese Campbell is on.

  17. 'Blades have been relentless'

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Danny Hall
    Sheffield Star journalist on BBC Radio Sheffield

    It's about earning the right and we've certainly done that.

    United have been absolutely relentless from the first kick of the game. It's been a really impressive performance so far.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    The visitors make a couple of subs as they look to try and rescue this.

    Hamza Choudhury and Jordan Ayew are on.

  19. Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    I can't state just how poor Leicester have been in this match so far.

    If anything they can count themselves fortunate to only be two goals down.

  20. 'Cool finish into the corner'

    Sheff Utd 2-0 Leicester

    Matty Fryatt
    Former Leicester City striker on Radio Leicester

    You've got to give Brooks massive amounts of credit, he shrugs off Luke Thomas, he had no right to win that.

    It was a cool and composed finish into the far corner.

    The Foxes now have a pretty big mountain to climb.
