Game Preview
Brighton & Hove Albion and Sheffield United will clash off on January 27 for a FA Cup fixture.
With a 4-0 victory over Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium, Sheffield United won their FA Cup debut. William Osula and James McAtee both netted 2 goals in the triumph. Following 3 losses and a tie, the team’s 4-match winning streak was ended by that outcome. The Blades have fared poorly this season in terms of league standings. After just 21 games, they have only managed 10 points, which has left them firmly at the bottom of the table. Everton is the first team above the dotted line, and they are 7 points behind them. Regardless of their Premier League situation, the Blades have evidence to believe that yet another deep cup run is in the works. They have escaped a loss in the top league 6 times this season, most recently against West Ham United. They were semi-finalists the previous season and quarter finalists in 2019–20 and 2020–21.
Brighton & Hove Albion, meanwhile, is having yet another successful season. They are 8 points behind the top 5 teams in the league after collecting 32 points from 21 league games. With 13 points from their 6 group stage games, the Seagulls finished first in their group and guaranteed a spot in the Europa League knockout stages. They defeated Stoke City 4-2 in the final round of this competition, with braces from Joao Pedro and goals from Pervis Estupinan and Lewis Dunk. Brighton’s recent unbeaten streak now stands at 5 games in all competitions after they drew 0-0 with Wolverhampton Wanderers at home. They have only won once in their last 5 away games, though, so their away form has been less remarkable. Even if the visitors are in better form going into this game, they cannot undervalue their rival, who they have not defeated in their previous 6 meetings.
