Sheffield United host Leicester live on Sky Sports on Tuesday night, as the Premier League clubs enter the fray in the Carabao Cup for the second round.
The Foxes, who beat Brighton at the weekend to secure their first win of the season, travel to Bramall Lane to take on Chris Wilder's side, who were boosted themselves by a victory over Barnsley on Saturday.
Wilder feels there are similarities between his side and Leicester. He said: "It's been an unbelievable couple of years for them. It's a similar sized club really.

"Leicester City and Sheffield United have quite a lot of comparisons, being working-class clubs. Obviously, they've had a big influence financially from abroad and they had an unbelievable season that will go down in the history of the Premier League."
Leicester are one of seven Premier League clubs in action on Tuesday, with West Brom and Bournemouth also facing trips to League Two Accrington and Championship Birmingham respectively.
Brighton, meanwhile, will target a first win of the season when they host Barnet at the Amex, Swansea face a trip to MK Dons and Watford welcome Bristol City to Vicarage Road. Crystal Palace, another side to have lost both their games so far this season, face Ipswich - who have won every game so far this season.
Elsewhere, Sky Bet Championship table-toppers Cardiff host Burton, there is an all west London affair at Loftus Road between QPR and Brentford, Bolton host Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall travel to Reading.
Championship sides Sunderland and Hull face trips to Carlisle and Doncaster, Middlesbrough host Scunthorpe, Leeds face Newport, Norwich play Charlton, Bristol Rovers travel to Fulham and Aston Villa welcome Wigan.
There is also a first-round match as Grimsby face Derby. The original tie was abandoned due to poor weather and the winner will face Barnsley at Oakwell.
