Wrexham vs Sheffield United Prediction

Sheffield are on course for a Premier League return, with the Blades on a nine-game unbeaten run across competitions. Paul Heckingbottom's side will want to augment their league form with a deep run in the cup, and their chances have been boosted by being drawn against a fifth-tier side.

However, it would be foolhardy to write Wrexham off, as the hosts saw off Championship opposition in the last round. The Robins are also full of confidence owing to their positive string of results in the last few months and will fancy their chances of an upset.

However, Sheffield should claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Wrexham 1-2 Sheffield United
