Sheffield United will look to pull off a huge shock as they face Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinal at Wembley Stadium.
The Blades are having a very good season under manager Paul Heckingbottom. They are just one win away from securing automatic promotion back to the Premier League, and have beaten Tottenham and Wrexham to get to the last four.
Pep Guardiola and the Citizens are chasing a historic treble this season as they look to win the league and Champions League along with this competition. They have knocked out Chelsea, Arsenal, and Championship winners Burnley during this campaign.
Sheffield United have not beaten Man City since the 2008 edition of the FA Cup. The Sky Blues won 1-0 in both meetings between the two sides during the 2020/21 season.
