With many team’s learning their fate in the next round of the FA Cup, Sheffield United were drawn against either Cardiff City of Reading. With the result of the Cardiff and Reading tie to be determined during the February 2 replay, Blades fans have about a week until they know their eventual opposition.
When the club tweeted the draw results many fans were excited. They think they have a real chance of going all the way in the competition. A win against either of the Championship teams would see Chris Wilder’s side secure a spot in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Honestly no reason why we can’t go a long way in this competition ?

Good chance of a run this year, hope we put a full strength team out and try and win something

Who would you rather face in the FA Cup Fifth Round?
Reading
Cardiff
Some fans are anxious to see their side face Cardiff. They want Oli McBurnie to score against the Blue Birds after he was spotted celebrating with Swansea fans during the South Wales Derby a few weeks ago. McBurnie made the move from Swansea to Sheffield United last summer for £17.19 million.

What do we think?
If Cardiff does manage to get past Reading to face Wilder’s team, there could be a lot of Swansea fans who are eager to cheer on McBurnie one last time as he faces the Neil Warnock’s side.
