Maddison cannily wins a foul off the over-eager Morrison in Leicester's half. That should be that now.
90'
United have four minutes to score. Mendy fouls Freeman on the edge of Leicester's box in a central position. This looks dangerous for Leicester...
89'
N. Mendy enters the game and replaces Y. Tielemans.
Tielemans' day is over - he's put in a decent shift for Leicester. Mendy comes in for him.
88'
Leicester are managing to get upfield again after United forced them to hunker down for a few minutes. It feels like the threat is over, unless United create one more chance.
86'
United win two more corners following deflections off Morgan and Fuchs. Leicester stand firm on both occasions. It's just a case of them seeing this game out now.
84'
Baldock shoots from outside the area but it's blocked by Choudhury and goes out for a corner. Leicester manage to head it away.
82'
United are keeping the pressure up on Leicester but Morgan is proving a calming presence in Leicester's back line in these late stages. The home side can't create a chance of note.
80'
Sheffield United are knocking on the door with a few more crosses. Leicester are home but aren't opening up and are instead peeking furtively through the curtains.
78'
W. Morgan enters the game and replaces Ayoze Pérez.
R. Morrison enters the game and replaces C. Basham.
United are understandably chasing the game. Morrison, who feels like one of English football's lost young talents at the age of 26, comes on for Basham.
Both managers try to help their sides in this sapping heat. Morgan replaces Perez for Leicester. They'll now move to a back three - or five, depending on how United fare.

Description
74'
The Foxes of Leicester have their tails up now. Basham gives away another corner for Leicester but they can't do anything with it. Fuchs tries to get it back in but Maddison is offside.
72'
United look a bit shellshocked after that. Maddison wins a free-kick after Stevens fouls him. Leicester can't make anything more of it though.
70'
H. Barnes has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by Ç. Söyüncü.
GOAL! 2-1 LEICESTER! What a goal by Barnes. Barnes strikes a powerful volley clean and true into the net after Leicester whip the ball back into the danger area. That was laughably good.
Soyuncu can claim the assist as he's the one who nodded it back down for Barnes to hit, but that was all Barnes' doing. It's hard to begrudge Leicester regaining the lead after that.
Evans causes United a few problems and it's another corner for Leicester. This time, it clears everyone and looks to be bouncing out for a throw, until...
68'
United have been buoyed by their goal and the game's looking increasingly open. Vardy forces a corner kick for Leicester.
66'
Barnes gets involved in the game straight away as he tries to find Vardy in United's penalty area but the veteran striker is offside.
64'
H. Barnes enters the game and replaces D. Praet.
Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers makes an attacking change. Praet is replaced by Barnes. Leicester will change to something more like a 4-2-3-1.
62'
O. McBurnie has scored a goal for Sheffield United! Assist by G. Baldock.
GOAL! 1-1 SHEFFIELD UNITED! Maybe they don't! Sharp holds the ball up on the edge of Leicester's box and it's worked to Baldock out wide. The wing-back fires a fantastic cross into the box that's nodded in by McBurnie!
That was a lovely cross by Baldock, who's been finding joy against Fuchs for the past few minutes. How will Leicester respond?
59'
United are doing well at getting down the flanks and getting crosses in but Leicester are equally adept at heading them away. The home side need some new ideas if they want to get a goal.
57'
J. Lundstram gets yellow.
Lundstram sees yellow for a heavy, late challenge on Maddison. It's deserved too.
56'
Not very much happens for a bit. Leicester are content to hang back while United are still getting used to their two new players up front.
54'
B. Sharp enters the game and replaces C. Robinson.
O. McBurnie enters the game and replaces D. McGoldrick.
Next, Sheffield United hero Sharp replaces Robinson. How will United's new strike partnership fare?
Wilder has seen enough and makes two changes up front. First, McBurnie replaces McGoldrick.
50'
Leicester win a free-kick in their own half after Norwood goes in high on Tielemans, leaving the Belgian midfielder winded. No booking for United's captain, surprisingly.
49'
Leicester knock a few passes around after some sloppy United play gives the ball away but can't get anywhere. Stevens bamboozles three Leicester defenders but can only knock an attempted through ball out of play.
47'
United have started this half looking lively. Soyuncu heads away a Stevens delivery into the box.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: SHEFFIELD UNITED 0-1 LEICESTER CITY
45'
There will be one added minute in the first half, and Sheffield United end the half with a corner kick. Norwood's corner finds O'Connell in space at the far post whose header is high and wide.
The second half is underway!
44'
Robinson overpowers Evans to blast a shot right at Schmeichel but only succeeds in giving away a foul. Wilder may need to gee his side up for the second half.
42'
United manage to push Leicester back into their own half without creating anything of note. Leicester try to counter but Maddison is offside so the attack breaks down.
40'
United look to equalise right away. The home side manage to win a corner off Soyuncu but can't do anything with it.
38'
J. Vardy has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by J. Maddison.
GOAL! 1-0 LEICESTER! Leicester deserve this after growing in menace. Seconds after Vardy is caught offside from Perez's ball over the top, Vardy gets through on goal and smashes the ball past Henderson at his near post. The Sheffield Wednesday fan does his best owl impression.
The assist for that goal came from Maddison, who found Vardy with a lovely first-time ball after United lost the ball in midfield. It's a warranted lead for Leicester.
36'
Leicester win a corner off Stevens. Maddison's outswinging delivery somehow misses everyone and Choudhury's attempted ball back in lands to Henderson.
34'
Leicester look the better side but can't break this stubborn United side down at the moment. Stevens knocks the ball out for a throw under pressure from Pereira.
30'
Maddison appeals for a foul and gets it after he beats Norwood to a loose ball and the United man brings him down. The free-kick is about 25 yards from goal.
25'
McGoldrick makes the most of a Leicester mistake to hold the ball up on the edge of the box. Choudhury intercepts and attempts to set Vardy free on the break but can't quite find him.
23'
Vardy harries United's defence in his inimitable way and forces Henderson into kicking the ball out for a throw. From the throw Leicester rebuild and Perez almost sets Vardy through on goal but his pass is intercepted.
21'
Lundstram makes his presence felt as he blasts a rising shot over from range. Nothing wrong with the United midfielder being confident after his winner against Palace a few days ago.
19'
Leicester keep the ball for a while without achieving much. Stevens breaks down the left for United and Pereira slides in to hand the home side a throw.
17'
Vardy's next to nod a header wide for Leicester when he gets on the end of Tielemans' delivery. Leicester's striker gets some stick from the United fans - he's a fan of their local rivals after all.
15'
United get a spell on the ball after Leicester pass around them for a while. Basham tries to switch play to Stevens on the left flank but his attempted pass lands out of play.
13'
Leicester are dominating possession at the moment. Maddison has a hopeful shot blocked. Tielemans dallies on the ball and has his pocket picked in midfield by McGoldrick. The Belgian brings the United striker down. United waste the free-kick by lumping it straight over Leicester's defence through to Schmeichel.
11'
Maddison is a promising talent for Leicester who looks like he'll only get better this season. He nods a header wide after Pereira found him with a curling cross into the box. The 22-year-old shakes his head in frustration.
9'
Leicester are the more experienced Premier League side these days and are stamping their authority on the game in these early stages. Lundstram fouls Maddison on the edge of United's box. Fuchs steps up and fires his left-footed free-kick wide.
7'
Leicester look bright on the counter so far this season. From United's corner, Maddison feeds Tielemans and Tielemans' shot from range bounces wide.
5'
United win their first corner of the game and their three centre-backs come menacingly forward. The delivery causes Leicester a few problems but they soon get it away. Norwood tries swinging the ball back in but it lands safely to Schmeichel.
4'
Sheffield United make some progress down their left-hand side but Leicester soon win the ball back when Norwood fouls Perez. The home side may need to be patient today.
2'
Leicester start the game brightly as Praet's shot from outside the box is blocked. The two sets of fans sound well up for this.

And we're off on this warm day in Sheffield!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of this Premier League match between Sheffield United and Leicester City at Bramall Lane.
Their opponents are Leicester City who drew their opening two games against Wolves and Chelsea. This will be the sides' first ever meeting in the Premier League. No doubt Leicester's star striker Jamie Vardy - a childhood Sheffield Wednesday fan - would love to dull the Blades' early season sharpness.

Sheffield United have started their return to the top flight well. Still unbeaten, Chris Wilder's men are looking for back-to-back Premier League wins after getting a deserved 1-0 win over Crystal Palace earlier this week.
It's a sunny afternoon at Bramall Lane and the two sides are on the pitch now. Sheffield United are wearing their usual red and white striped shirts, black shorts and red socks. Leicester City are in their blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks. Proper football colours.
Leicester's first win of this Premier League campaign lifts them to the lofty heights of third in the table for now - they're still unbeaten after three games and have started the season well. Sheffield United sit in ninth with one win, one loss and one draw.
Both sides must now turn their attentions to the EFL Cup midweek. Leicester will look back at Barnes' goal as the moment their season truly got up and running. That's all for now. Goodbye!
