Preview: Sheffield United vs. Nottingham Forest

Sports Mole previews the match between Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Sheffield United host Nottingham Forest on Sunday hoping to secure their third FA Cup scalp of the campaign.

The Blades have already defeated Premier League duo Aston Villa and Fulham, and they can add another notable name to the list if they can overcome the Championship club.

After their game in midweek was postponed, manager Nigel Clough could name an unchanged lineup against a side for whom he made over 300 appearances during his playing career.

Nottingham Forest are one of the form teams in the country after remaining unbeaten in their last 16 fixtures.

Boss Billy Davies will be confident of extending that run against the League One side, and changes could be kept to a minimum for the trip to Bramall Lane.

Nottingham Forest: Darlow; Halford, Fox, Lascelles, Hobbs; Jara, Paterson, Majewski, Djebbour, Reid; Cox

Sports Mole says: 1-3
