The FA Cup has reached the fourth-round stage. There are several all-Premier League ties in the famous old competition, including the one at Bramall Lane, as Sheffield United looks to put their top-flight strugglers to one side as they host Brighton.
The Blades face a challenge against the stubborn Seagulls
Sheffield United have claimed just one win from their previous six games in all competitions.
The Yorkshire outfit did snatch a last-gasp equaliser to draw 2-2 with West Ham last time out, though, which has to be considered a good result in their current form.
While the home team has struggled for any sort of form of late, Brighton is unbeaten in their previous five games in all competitions.
What’s the story with the goals?
One of the biggest reasons for Sheffield United’s top-flight struggles has been poor defensive displays, as the home team has conceded at least two goals in seven of their previous ten games in all competitions.
Despite their poor defensive displays of late, Sheffield United’s recent games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous eight matches.
The visitor's recent outings have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last eight competitive outings.
Stellar recent records in the FA Cup
Despite their recent league struggles, Sheffield United has a decent recent record in the FA Cup, with the Blades winning four of their previous five games in the competition, having also suffered just one defeat in seven games.
Meanwhile, Brighton has also claimed five wins in their previous six matches in the FA Cup.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Sheffield United will experience more disappointment, with Brighton recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
