FA Cup Quarter Final – The Blades Vs Arsenal Dream11 Prediction

Sheffield United will host Arsenal on Sunday in FA Cup Quarter Final at Bramall Lane. Sheffield United’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League since 2007 were shattered away when they were back to back defeated by Newcastle United and Manchester United. Sheffield United were beaten by 3-0 margin in each of those matches after which their position in points table slipped down to 8th spot. However Arsenal is standing in between their FA Cup semi final spot to whom they have already beaten once at Bramall Lane which will boost their confidence. 

 After successive defeats in Premier League from Manchester City, Brighton & Hove Albion, The Gunners were back on winning track after they thrashed Southampton by 

2-0. Thanks to strikes from Edward Nketiah and Joe Willock, the duo gave Arsenal much needed win since the project restart. 

Mikel Arteta’s side will likely to be tested by Sheffield United against whom they have struggled earlier this season. But we shouldn’t forget the matter of fact that with 13 titles, Gunners have won FA Cup more than any other English side and will be hoping to get closer to their 14th title when they travel Bramall Lane. This doesn’t seems as easy for the visitors as the hosts will make their life tough at Bramall Lane.
