Prediction: 1-2
Sheffield United
Gillingham will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Sutton and Colchester when they take on Sheffield United in the FA Cup last 64. The Gills have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Saturday’s clash. Barring any fresh injury worries, Stephen Clemence is likely to stick to the team that got maximum points against the U’s.
The Blades, on the other hand, are struggling in the Premier League, with the team fighting tooth and nail to survive in the elite division. Anyhow, Sheffield United will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Midfielder Anis Slimane is on international duty as well as Yasser Larouci, while Tom Davies is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
