Match preview
It’s an all-Championship affair at The Den on Saturday, January 7th, as Millwall and Sheffield United prepare to do battle for a spot in the 4th round of the FA Cup.
The latter, of course, will head into the clash as favourites, having enjoyed a stellar campaign to date.
United currently sit 2nd in the table in England’s 2nd tier, a full nine points clear of the chasing pack in the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
This comes with the Blades having slipped to just a solitary defeat since mid-October, a stretch of 11 fixtures.
Last time out, Paul Heckingbottom’s troops showcased their never-say-die spirit, too, in bagging a last-gasp equaliser to avoid what would have proven a shock defeat at the hands of Queens Park Rangers.

The Blades, in turn, will no doubt head into Saturday’s action at The Den confident in their chances of going one better than last year’s FA Cup.
Upcoming opponents Millwall, though, to their credit, have also looked much improved of late.
All told, since slipping to defeat in their return to Championship action on the back of the World Cup break, the Lions have since notched two wins and two draws from four attempts.
Their latest outing, this past weekend, saw Tom Bradshaw prove the star of the show en route to a three-goal downing of Rotherham.
We at 101, though, nevertheless view Sheffield United as favourites, albeit just, to ultimately emerge on the right side of the result at The Den on Saturday evening.
