THE PREDICTION
Sheffield Utd will be delighted to distance themselves from Premier League action and focus on the FA Cup, a competition in which they reached the quarter finals of last season. They travel to League One side Bristol Rovers in the third round, with Paul Tisdale’s side hoping to take advantage of the Blades’ confidence being at rock bottom considering their current accumulation of just two points from 17 Premier League matches. Despite the FA Cup being an entirely different competition, you can’t help but wonder about Sheffield Utd’s mental state heading into this match off the back of such a demoralising run and whilst they will rightly be clear favourites to win here, Bristol Rovers double chance could prove the shrewd play with the Gas having won their most recent two league games at the Memorial Stadium.
