Sheffield United are one win away from reaching Wembley but have a promotion rival to see off first

Sheffield United have a break from Championship action this weekend as they prepare to lock horns with league rivals Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup quarter-final at Bramall Lane. A semi-final at Wembley awaits the winner of the tie.

The Blades head into the game on the back of their crucial 2-1 away win at Sunderland in the league on Wednesday evening and that win means the gap between them and 3rd place Middlesbrough is six points now. Paul Heckingbottom’s side saw off Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in the last round of the competition as well.

Blackburn Rovers have promotion aspirations of their own but will also be dreaming of cup success. They won away at top flight outfit Leicester City to book their place in the final eight.
