Sheffield United and Cardiff City face off in an all-Championship FA Cup third-round clash at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United revived their Championship title hopes with a 2-1 win over Watford, ending a three-game winless streak. Andre Brooks's winner brought the Blades within a point of leaders Leeds United. Chris Wilder praised his injury-hit team’s resilience and urged them to maintain their momentum as they shift focus to the FA Cup, aiming to progress past the third round for the sixth time in eight years. The Blades have won their last five games against Cardiff City and are unbeaten in FA Cup third-round ties against teams from the same division.
Cardiff have shown improvement after a nine-game winless run, picking up five points in their last three league matches, including a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. Sitting 23rd in the table but level on points with safety, the Bluebirds will hope to avoid a fifth consecutive third-round exit. However, Cardiff face a tough challenge, having lost their last four FA Cup away games and three of their last four meetings with Sheffield United in the competition.
