FA Cup Quarter-Final: Sheffield United v Arsenal | Sunday June 28th | KO: 13:00 BST | BT Sport

[Hunta]

Just play Saka and I’ll watch.

Its an @Oxeki so I gotta vote for a loss here.

Can't believe OnlyOne is being rested for the cup, it's only been a few PL games since the return as well.

 

[Dutch D]

Sheffield look absolutely awful since the restart no goal scored 6 goals conceded.

Going to be a great match to watch then...

I hope we keep some semblance of form going like @Mitch said. Think we should consider resting Saka, though. Got a brutal schedule in the PL.

Do hope we win the FA cup, would be a positive end to a terrible season, but Chelsea, United and City still in the mix so I doubt it.

Is the Portuguese Jenkinson available for this or what?

Is the Portuguese Jenkinson available for this or what?

According to the official website:
Integrating back into full training following facial injury. Successful procedure has taken place further to nasal fracture sustained in training. Aiming to be available for selection after Sheffield United (a).

Probably be in the squad for Norwich on Wednesday

 

[Riou]

Ridiculous red for Bergkamp...


...the replay at their ground was a battle aswell, think Cashley got the winning penalty that night.

[GeorgiaGunner]

Strongest team possible in the cup at this point. Need to be chasing EL spot on both fronts.

 

[sdotzdot]

Most important game of the restart, if we want to rotate do so for the next PL game, this is our only saving grace of this horrendous season.

 

[sdotzdot]

Be nice to see him play this season

Yup! Will definitely help us make our decision on whether to sign him up if we see him play some minu-

Nevermind.

 

[Elwood]

We're still in it? Nice. Actually not nice, now I'm hopeful again
Edit: what stage is it anyway?

 

[Dutch D]

Quarter finals, City Chelsea and ManU in the other three matches. Not very hopeful...

 

[dashsnow17]

I keep getting excited to watch Arsenal play a game of football and then I remember that Arsenal has literally no midfield to speak of and watching them play a game of football is like watching a blind man try to put on a condom with oven gloves.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

I had no idea this was a quarter final. Win this and we’re at Wembley. Sheffield Utd have been awful since the restart so I fully expect them to be Harlem Globetrotters against us. That said, a similar performance to S’ton will see us win.

Go with the same team but with Guendouzi on the bench. We have something to look forward to.

 

[Mo Britain]

Got a feeling we'll blow this but having said that unless there's a major surprise in one of the other ties and a lucky draw I don't give us any chance of progressing beyond the semi anyway.

 

[Oxeki]

I think Auba needs to start. It can help get his confidence up. Maybe score a couple to get his engine roaring back to life. He hasn't scored in 4 games. This is the longest the longest he's gone without scoring for us.

 

[MD3 Gunner]

Sheffield Uniteds form since the return of the PL

0-0 D vs Villa
3-0 L vs Newcastle
3-0 L vs Man United

you know what’s coming..
