"The Sheffield game will be a great challenge for us because we need to show a greater level of physicality and mentality. That'll be a really good test. "We had a great result at Bramall Lane earlier in the season and now this is a game where we've really got to show our mettle and look to get working again."
Leicester are fourth on 59 points, a point and a place ahead of Manchester United, who face Southampton later on Monday. Leicester end their campaign with games against Tottenham Hotspur and United.
