Championship outfit Sheffield United will look to continue their FA Cup dream when they host Tottenham at Bramall Lane in the fifth round on Wednesday.

The two teams will meet in the competition for the first time since the 1957-58 season and the Blades will hope they can repeat that day's scoreline when they won 3-0 in the fourth round.

This time, though, Spurs are the strong favourites, with the competition presenting Antonio Conte's side with a chance to win their first trophy since 2008.

Team news

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom will be without Billy Sharp, Rhian Brewster, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Enda Stevens and Jack O'Connell through injury for Wednesday's tie at Bramall Lane.

However, full-back George Baldock does have a chance of returning to the starting XI after recovering from a hamstring problem.

Adam Davies is likely to feature in goal as he has done all season in the FA Cup, while Chris Basham will hope to start as part of a back three.

Conte, who is likely to pick the team but potentially be absent following surgery, will once again be without goalkeeper Hugo Lloris due to a knee issue

The Frenchman is joined in the treatment room by Ryan Sessegnon and Yves Bissouma due to thigh and ankle injuries, respectively.

Midfielder Rodrigo Bentnacur will also miss the tie, with his ACL injury keeping him out for the reason of the season.

Spurs are likely to rotate several members of his squad, with Son Heung-min and Arnaut Danjuma expected to replace Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison.

Tottenham to win and both teams to score @ 23/10

Sheffield United should prove a tough nut to crack on Wednesday, with the Blades only losing three of their previous 20 home games in south Yorkshire.

Tottenham have also not travelled too well of late, losing three of their last five away from north London.

However, Spurs' superior class should stand them in good stead. Heckingbottom's side have shown signs of vulnerability after losing two of their last three, and while they should have enough quality to score, they are likely to come unstuck after 90 minutes.

Son Heung-min to score anytime @ 11/10

South Korea international Son has not had the season he would have liked, netting just five Premier League goals in 2022-23.

While he has generally struggled, he might just be finding form, having scored three goals in his previous six appearances in all competitions.

Two of those came against Preston North End in the previous round of the FA Cup and his record in the competition is too good to ignore.

Son has been involved in 25 goals in 27 appearances for Spurs in the FA Cup, and Sheffield United could struggle to keep him at bay.

Spurs will be looking to lean on his experience and Son should be able to help his team over the line, with a 2-1 away win catching the eye at 7/1.
