Leicester City manager Ian Holloway has said that he is relishing the closing stages of the Championship season.

The Foxes, who are just a point above the relegation zone, are at Sheffield United this weekend.

With just five games to go he told BBC Radio Leicester: "It's the last sprint over the line and we've got to get ready to run.

"The lads have been in great spirits, it's no time for the faint hearted and we're ready to bring on the challenge."

City will be without Lee Hendrie, who has a clause in his loan contract which prevents him playing against his parent club.

I've got nothing to be scared of at Bramall Lane

Speaking about Saturday's opponents, Holloway said: "Billy Sharpe has started scoring for them, he's got three in three games hasn't he?"

"All we need is one or two of our chances to go in and I think we'll win things quite comfortably.

"It's a very difficult place to go but it's one where I've had good fortunes in the past, so I've got nothing to be scared of at Bramall Lane."
