Arsenal will be looking to progress further in the FA Cup when they take on Sheffield United away from home this afternoon.

The Gunners will face Premier League rivals United at Bramall Lane in the sixth round of the prestigious cup competition.

Mikel Arteta’s side will head into the game against the Blades on the back of a 2-0 win against Southampton away from home at St. Mary’s Stadium in the Premier League.

The North London outfit will be determined to maintain their cup run and go through from the sixth round.

Meanwhile, United will be looking to return to winning ways and give their fans something to cheer about.

Chris Wilder’s side have made a disappointing return to action, drawing with Aston Villa before suffering 3-0 defeats to Newcastle United and Manchester United in the Premier League.

The Blades’ chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League table this season are diminishing, and the players will want to keep their cup run alive.

This is how United and Arsenal will line up in the FA Cup this afternoon:

Meanwhile, former Arsenal star Ray Parlour has praised Eddie Nketiah, but he has urged the young striker to improve.

Parlour told Goal.com: “Nketiah is getting a chance now and he’s still a young lad.

“He’s still got to improve and get better, but Arteta might be saying ‘l like what I’m seeing in training from him and I know he will improve’.”
