02-04 01:30 Sheffield United vs Aston Villa.
It's a game that both teams "can't afford to lose again".
First, Sheffield United, after being beaten 3-2 at Crystal Palace in the round of 22, are on a six-game winless streak in the Premier League and remain bottom of the table with 10 points, nine points behind Luton Town on the edge of the relegation zone.
Secondly, things aren't too good for Aston Villa either. After suffering their first home defeat of the season in the Premier League after losing 3-1 at home to Newcastle United in the 22nd round, Aston Villa have dropped out of the top four at the top of the table.
Aston Villa have scored just one goal in their last three games. Unai Emery needs to think hard about how to solve Aston Villa's goal problem.
In terms of historical record, Sheffield United have a clear advantage, with three wins, three draws and one defeat in the last seven games against Aston Villa, including three consecutive wins at home.
