Wrexham vs Sheffield United Predictions

• Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last seven away matches (W6, D1)
• Wrexham last went beyond the fourth round of the FA Cup in the 96/97 season
• 71 places separate these two sides in the football pyramid

Back Blades to progress

Paul Heckingbottom is doing a fine job at Sheffield United, as he has overseen his side open a 13-point gap on third placed, Watford. The Blades look set to return to the Premier League at the second time of asking and with such a cosy gap between them and the chasing pack, the FA Cup has become a bit of a free hit for the Blades.

Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last seven away matches (W6, D1) and the 2014 semi-finalists are expected to record a safe passage into the fifth round against their non-league opponents.

Bridge to far for Wrexham

Wrexham are to lowest rank team left in the competition and did remarkably well to see off Championship side, Coventry, in the last round. Phil Parkinson’s side face another step up in grade this time round and the Welsh side are expected to fall short of the mark on Sunday. 71 places separate these two sides in the English football pyramid and the Blades are expected to make their class tell against a Wrexham side who last progressed beyond the fourth round 26 years ago.

Sheffield United to win in the outright market will be the main selection for Sunday’s game, with a 2-0 away win forming the correct score prediction.
