Tottenham travel to Sheffield United on Wednesday evening looking to progress to the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2018. With the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea already out of this year’s competition, Antonio Conte’s side will likely view this as a great opportunity to end their barren trophyless spell, spanning back to their League Cup triumph in 2008.
However, a trip to Bramall Lane represents a real test for Spurs, despite the 18 places separating the sides across two divisions. And pundit Chris Sutton believes this could be set up for a classic FA Cup upset.
In his latest column for the BBC, the former Norwich, Blackburn and Celtic striker predicted a 2-1 win for the Blades after extra-time. “Tottenham are in decent form but this looks like a really awkward game for them,” Sutton said.
