Leicester vs Sheffield United Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in FA Cup Predictions
Leicester City are 8th in the Premier League and with a decent chance of Europa League football next season. They could qualify via the FA Cup as they play their third straight game against a side from outside the Premier League. Round three saw them get past Fleetwood after a replay and in the fourth round they hammered Peterborough United 5-1 away from home. It's at home that City are their strongest and are on a run of five home matches without defeat since being knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties by Manchester City. That's much better than their away form where they have one win in seven. Sheffield United were chasing automatic promotion to the Premier League a few weeks ago but have slipped down the table to 8th in the table, three points adrift of the play-offs. They did get a win at home to Leeds last weekend but that was preceded by two straight defeats. With just two away wins in their last seven away Championship games, it remains to be seen whether they can challenge City in this game and they have only won one of their last four away FA Cup ties.. Leicester are unlikely to play a full-strength side but their manager reached Wembley last year in the League Cup and should see how important this game is to their season, so go for a Leicester City home win.

Our Leicester vs Sheffield United Prediction
Leicester City have never won the FA Cup but this season represents a good chance to change that record. They are strong at home and face a Sheffield United team who really need to be concentrating on getting their promotion push going again. Go for City to get the home win and reach the quarter finals.
