Sheffield Utd vs Tottenham Prediction & Tips
It’s an intriguing game in the FA Cup Fifth Round as Championship side Sheffield United prepare to entertain a motivated Premier League side in Tottenham at Bramall Lane in Sheffield.
Paul Heckingbottom’s men got back to winning ways last weekend when they overcame Watford at home, a result that sees them put a run of two consecutive defeats behind them.
The Blades currently sit second in the Championship table, 12 points behind leaders Burnley and seven points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough, with only the top two promoted to the Premier League.
Sheffield United are now focused on the FA Cup, where in 2020/21 they reached the quarter-finals only to be knocked out by Chelsea, and are looking to match or better them, and will be looking to build on their home record of seven wins in their last eight official matches.
Antonio Conte’s side will be full of confidence after their last two victories. Spurs are coming off the back of 2-0 home wins over West Ham and Chelsea.
These results move the Lyliwhites into fourth place in the Premier League standings going into the Champions League, four points clear of Newcastle United, although Tottenham have two games in hand.
Playing away from home Tottenham have been inconsistent, having lost their last two away games, but here they face a Sheffield Wednesday side they have beaten in their last two head-to-head meetings, including the win on their last visit to this venue (1-3).
The Lyliwhites last won the FA Cup in 1990/91 and will be without Rodrigo Bentancur, who is out for the remainder of the season, as well as Hugo Lloris and Yves Bissouma.
