Millwall vs Sheffield United: date, kick off and how to watch the FA Cup third round match

Sheffield United are set to travel to London this weekend as they go head-to-head against Millwall in the FA Cup’s third round at The Den. Both Championship sides are currently in great form, with the Blades currently second in the table, while Millwall climbed up to sixth - just three points behind third-placed Middlesbrough.

However, the Lions are hoping to do better to advance to the fourth round than they did last year when they were eliminated by Crystal Palace in a 2-1 loss at home. The Blades, on the other hand, are riding high on their confidence following their unbeaten run in the Championship over the last four matches.

Gary Rowett’s side, who are currently undefeated in four matches and boosted by being in the playoff places for the first time since mid-August, will hope to maintain their momentum during their break from Championship play and advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a home victory this weekend.

But Paul Heckingbottom’s side appears to remain solid by continuing their unbeaten streak thanks to victories against Huddersfield Town, Wigan Athletic, and Coventry City on their return in December following a World Cup break, before adding a 2-1 win at Blackpool shortly after Christmas.

Here’s what you need to know about the match, including if you can watch it live.
