FA Cup Quarterfinal June 28 Betting Preview

Sheffield United vs Arsenal

Time: 8:00 AM EST 

Odds: Sheffield United +210, Draw +200, Arsenal +125

Watch: ESPN+ 

This match marks the first time Sheffield will meet a fellow EPL side in the FA Cup this year, after wins over 5th division side AFC Fylde, and Championship sides Millwall and Reading in the previous rounds.  The hosts should be near full strength with Jack O’Connell and Lys Mousset the only question marks.  Sheffield have struggled since the restart and have yet to register a win since the resumption of play. 

Arsenal reaches the quarterfinals following wins over Leeds, Bournemouth and Portsmouth in the previous rounds.  Goalkeeper Bernd Leno and midfielder Lucas Torreira remain out for the visitors here, while David Luiz has served his suspension and is available for selection again.  Arsenal registered their first win since the restart over Southampton in midweek. 

Sheffield United has struggled to score goals at home in the League, while their defense has been stellar.  Conversely Arsenal have struggled to score goals away while their defense has also performed well.  Arsenal are the more talented side and have looked better than Sheffield of late, but neither side is likely to inspire a ton of confidence at the moment.  A low scoring draw with Arsenal advancing looks likely here.
