Sheffield United will attempt to avoid a huge FA Cup upset when they host Wrexham in their fourth round replay this week.
Sheffield United Form GuideAfter licking their wounds, Sheffield United are well-positioned to return to the Premier League next season. Of course, nothing is a guarantee, but they have everything in place to make the kind of impact they did upon returning just a few years ago. Still, for the Blades, avoiding embarrassment in a tie like this one is going to be vital.
They may not have lost in 2023, but fortunes have still been mixed for Sheffield United lately. They have been held by QPR, Rotherham and, of course, Wrexham, but they did put together a nice three-game win streak against Millwall, Stoke and Hull back in January.
Wrexham Form GuideEver since their Hollywood takeover, Wrexham Football Club has become one of the most popular teams in world football - and that’s not an overstatement. Off the back of this momentum they’ve put together a cup run for the ages, and when you put that alongside their promotion surge, this is a special time for the boys from Wales.
With six games under their belt in less than a month, Wrexham know what it means to be active. They have beaten Bromley, Maidstone and Gateshead this year and although Sheffield United forced a replay, they did avenge their FA Trophy loss to Altrincham with a 2-1 win over the weekend.
Latest Team NewsBaldock, Stevens, Brewster, Fleck, Norrington-Davies and O’Connell are all absent through injury as Sheffield’s fitness problems continue.
Paul Mullin will lead the line as he always does for the visitors with Wrexham being fortunate that they have no real injury concerns to deal with.
Match PredictionWrexham are going to come straight at United as they’ll want to avoid the poor start they made in the initial tie. They will come forward with numbers regardless of what happens at the back, and this time, the experience of United will lead to them securing a comfortable win.
