Prediction:

Arsenal got back to winning ways on Thursday with a 2-0 victory at Southampton and that should boost their morale.

Arsenal have a very good record in this competition and are the record holders.

Sheffield have looked poor ever since the league resumed unlike before, they have failed to score a goal in three matches and have been leaking goals at the back.

Mikel Arteta is expected to field a strong side that should see Arsenal progress to the semis
