Who are the biggest teams the Blades could draw?
In terms of big-boys, there’s the usual Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool and, of course, Manchester United.
And given his side’s performances in the Premier League recently, Chris Wilder won’t fear any of the above.
Sheffield Wednesday also feature in the draw, so there is potential for a Steel City derby.
