Sheffield Wednesday have lost 17 of 18 games so far in 2026
Patson Daka hit a brace for Leicester in Friday’s draw with Preston
Recommended bet: Patson Daka anytime goalscorer
Leicester City are battling hard to avoid relegation from the Championship and the Foxes are in dire need of a win at basement club Sheffield Wednesday on Easter Monday.
Leicester picked up a point at home against Preston on Friday, but they remain in the drop zone, a point behind Portsmouth in 21st place.
Four clubs are split by four points from 2oth spot down, with two relegation places to be avoided. Gary Rowett’s side are in desperate need of a win as they face basement boys Sheffield Wednesday in south Yorkshire.

Team news
The hosts remain without Murphy Cooper, Liam Cooper, Ernie Weaver and George Brown, but Max Lowe made a first start since December on Friday after returning from injury.
Defender Di’Shon Bernard is closing in on a return but this game may come too soon.
Jordan James missed Leicester’s draw with Preston after picking up a knock on international duty with Wales. The midfielder will need assessment again.
Jordan Ayew was on the bench after his exploits with Ghana and could earn a recall if Leicester want to go after this game, while Bobby De Cordova-Reid is another that could return after a cameo on Friday in the wake of World Cup play-off heartache with Jamaica.
Jannik Vestergaard came off the bench for his first appearance since January on Friday but fellow Danish defender Victor Kristiansen and Aaron Ramsey are still absent.

Prediction
Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen felt his side were not good enough or brave enough in transition as they lost 2-0 at Stoke on Friday.
Meanwhile Foxes boss Rowett insisted Leicester were outstanding in 99 per-cent of what they did in the 2-2 at home to Preston as he lamented giving away goal ‘out of nothing’.
They will feel they can avoid such a scenario now facing an Owls side with just 10 goals scored in 20 home Championship games but this isn’t going to be an easy job for Leicester.
They have just one win in 14 games and this trip to the basement club enters must-win territory. They should get the three points but odds of 4/9 with LiveScore Bet are unappealing.
Instead, Patson Daka is taken to find the net against an Owls side with 81 goals leaked in 40 Championship games.
The Zambia forward looked sharp on Friday, taking his first goal coolly after a defensive lapse and firing home from 20 yards for his second. He has got three in as many starts for Leicester recently and can add to his tally against the bottom club.
