Sheffield United were seconds away from being eliminated in the fourth round of the FA Cup last weekend, with Mullin’s goal seemingly winning it for Wrexham, but Egan had other ideas, levelling in the fifth minute of additional time at the end of the 90 to force a replay with the National League outfit.
The Blades will be determined to avoid what would be a surprise elimination in the fourth round, but it would be fair to say that their main focus this season is on the Championship. Indeed, the South Yorkshire outfit are bidding to return to the Premier League for the first time since their relegation in 2020-21, and they currently sit second in the table, 10 points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough with a game in hand.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side will enter this match off the back of a goalless draw with Rotherham United away from home on Saturday, but they now have three home games in a row, following this fixture with league encounters against Swansea City and Middlesbrough.
Sheffield United have won the FA Cup on four previous occasions, last lifting the trophy in 1924-25, and a victory in this game would see them take on Tottenham Hotspur in the fifth round of the competition.
