Can League Two Fleetwood make it into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup? To do so they must defeat Championship side Sheffield United. It's going to be a tough match for the underdogs as their opponents are unbeaten away from home this season. Our prediction is an away win.
Fleetwood are seventh in League Two, the final promotion play-off position. They are unbeaten in the league, but have only won two games with four being drawn. At home, they drew their first two games before getting a win over Shrewsbury. There's been an average of just one goal a game in those league fixtures.
In the Carabao Cup, Fleetwood have beaten Chesterfield and Shrewsbury to reach this stage.
Sheffield United play two leagues above their opponents. Last season saw them make a poor start but it's gone a bit better this time around. The Blades are 14th in the table, but they are only a point behind the final promotion play-off position. Their most recent game saw them lose 1-0 at home to Wolves.
Away league form has seen them win at Blackburn and draw at Cardiff and second-placed Swansea City.
To reach round three of the Carabao Cup, United won 2-1 away at Blackburn Rovers.

Our Fleetwood Town vs Sheffield United Prediction
Sheffield United are trying to reach round four of the Carabao Cup for the first time since being semi-finalists in the 2014-15 season. The Blades have made a steady start to the new season and are unbeaten on their travels, including an away win in this competition.
Fleetwood are in League Two and draw too many of their games. They have beaten two clubs from their same division to reach the last 32. The Cods have never reached round four in their history. That record may stay intact and our Fleetwood v Sheffield United prediction is Sheffield United wins.
