The lowest-ranked side left in the FA Cup, Sheffield United, can reach the last 16 if they upset struggling Premier League side Fulham in their fourth-round replay on Tuesday night.

The Blades did well to hold on for a draw in the initial tie after being reduced to 10 men soon after half time.

Michael Doyle was sent off for kicking out at Chris David and will still be suspended for the replay.

Both sides come into the game on the back of 3-0 defeats at the weekend and on runs of four games without a win in all competitions.

Fulham conceded three times in 11 second-half minutes to lose at home to Southampton, while United went down at Crewe Alexandra.

Rene Meulensteen was the busiest Premier League manager in the recent transfer window, making seven signings.

Konstantinos Mitroglou, who cost the club £11m, could make his debut in attack, while ex-Manchester United midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe is also likely to start.

The winner will go on to play Nottingham Forest or Preston North End in the last 16.
