Leicester – Sheffield United – At the first match of the eighth finals of the English FA, Cupa forces will level two teams currently taking eight positions in their leagues, Leicester in the Premiership and Sheffield United in the Championship. That is why it is quite clear that the role of the absolute favorite belongs to the domestic “handcuffs”, which at the very start of the season in the League Cup celebrated 4: 1 at Sheffield United.

However, in the meantime, the team from Sheffield has raised its form considerably, while Leicester this FA Cup meeting of the eighth oscillation after three very bad appearances in the Premiership. After the two wins and one remixed series were further reinforced in the upper part of the table, the coaches of Puela were able to remade against the Swanseau’s “twin” in the last three rounds while defeating at Everton and Manchester City .
Still, the popular “foxes” still have a fairly tedious situation on the table, as they are in the eighth place and are even nine points away from the drop zone. As for their previous FA Cup appearances, they have routinely done their job against Fleetwood and Peterborough, so they are not expecting too many problems from the second round of the Sheffield, especially since they can not count only the injured Morgan and Hutha bats.

Sheffield United
As for the guests from Sheffield, we have already said in the introduction that this FA Cup duel against the Leicester Premier League is awaited as the eighth-placed team of the Championship, which is certainly a great success for them if we know that in the previous six seasons they played in the third tier of English football. However, in their retirement season they have been shown in a fairly good release and currently only three points are shared by the play-off positions, while they have long overcome all concerns about survival.
Otherwise, Wilder coaches were better off in the FA Cup last two rounds of Ipswich and Preston, who in the Championship were direct competitors in the playoffs, but they are now expecting a much heavier task against the Leicester Premier League, especially because they play away . Let’s say that Sheffield United had a 2: 1 lead over Leeds at home, while for this duel did not contend the injured Freeman defender and the Coutts and Brooks midfielders, as well as suspended goalkeeper Moore and Fleck midfielder.

Leicester – Sheffield United TIP
Maximally respecting all that Sheffield United has done this season, however, we must be honest and say that they have a very small chance to reach the FA Cup in the quarter-finals, especially because they play away.
