Preview: Sheffield United vs. Nottingham Forest

Sheff Utd vs. Nottingham Forest

Sheffield United host Nottingham Forest on Sunday hoping to secure their third FA Cup scalp of the campaign.

The Blades have already defeated Premier League duo Aston Villa and Fulham, and they can add another notable name to the list if they can overcome the Championship club.

After their game in midweek was postponed, manager Nigel Clough could name an unchanged lineup against a side for whom he made over 300 appearances during his playing career.

Nottingham Forest are one of the form teams in the country after remaining unbeaten in their last 16 fixtures.

Boss Billy Davies will be confident of extending that run against the League One side, and changes could be kept to a minimum for the trip to Bramall Lane.

Sheffield United: LDDLWW

Sheffield United: Howard; Brayford, Harris, Maguire, Collins; Coady, Flynn, McGinn, Scougall, Baxter; Murphy

Nottingham Forest: Darlow; Halford, Fox, Lascelles, Hobbs; Jara, Paterson, Majewski, Djebbour, Reid; Cox

Sports Mole says: 1-3
