All the teams who progressed to the next round of the FA Cup found out their fate this week. Sheffield United drew Millwall in the next round. Millwall are currently seventh in the Championship, just shy off a playoff spot (Sky Sports). The match should, arguably, be a relatively simple one for Sheffield United who are impressing everyone this season, sitting in eighth place in the Premier League (Sky Sports).
Many fans, however, were not as thrilled with the result. They aren’t excited about playing Millwall. When the club tweeted out the result of the draw to supporters, they shared their displeasure.
Get in wanted millwall away! Said no one.

Are you happy with the FA Cup draw with Millwall?
Yes
No
Others insinuated that Millwall will come out strong and physical. The players will be in for a fight.

What do we think?
While Sheffield United fans are obviously concerned about the physicality of Millwall, the statistics suggest the game won’t be as bad as they think. Sheffield United have received 40 yellow cards flashed in 31 games this season. Millwall, on the other hand, have had 41 yellow cards in 34 games.
