Its Leeds Again
Sheffield United will play Leeds United yet again this season at home in a cup competition, this time its the Quarter-Final of the Football Association Cup that will host this Yorkshire Derby.

The Blades have met the Whites on two occasions in the FA Cup before today, the first was during 1935/1936 season at Bramall Lane where the Blades won 3-1. However the second was not a joyous occasion as the Blades lost 1-0 during 1967/1968 season.

The tie will take place on the weekend of 8th and 9th of March, though the game will defiantly be on TV but it is yet to be decided weather it will be on SKY or BBC1.

The big tie  of the Quarter-Finals though will belong to cup holders Arsenal who will play local rivals Chelsea at Highbury. Watford, who knocked out Sunderland in last round are home to winners between Fulham or Burnley while Southampton host Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The draw in full:

  • Watford v Fulham or Burnley
  • Arsenal v Chelsea
  • Southampton v Wolverhampton Wanderers
  • Sheffield United v Leeds United
