The Blades entertain Plymouth the League One side tomorrow in the FA Cup fourth round hoping to make it three wins from four in all competitions

What's the team news for tomorrow, will you be going strong with your line-up?

I am not going to tell you about team news and team selection. We will prepare against Man United the same way we have
prepared against Plymouth."

Is the cup a competition you can target for a run?

That's being disrespectful to our opponents to think anything other than this is going to be a tough game.

Ryan is a manager we have a huge amount of respect for.

I have spoken to the players today people talk nonsense about shape and systems, but it's really simplistic - play well and give Jose Mourinho said the same, it is simplistic - just play well, bring your mate to the party next to you and then 11 players play well and you have an opportunity of getting a result on Saturday.

I am not interested in who we have got or when it is, just interested in preparing in the best possible way to win a game of football. yourself an opportunity of winning games.

Plymouth coming in on good form?

We have done exactly the same process and attention to detail regarding Plymouth as we did the week before against Spurs.

We are not good enough just to roll up and dismiss anybody, that is not the case for me as a manager.

I respect every manager in the game and have a huge amount for Ryan and for what he has achieved.

He plays the game in the manner that I admire.

Are you favourites and Plymouth underdogs?

They are just words.

Whether we are going in to someone's back yard against incredibly powerful players you still think you have that powerful one, two combination that catches them off guard.

There will be belief from us that we can get the job done and, understandably, belief from Plymouth and their manager that they can win a game of football."

Argyle will wear their green home shirts at Bramall Lane, while Sheffield United will be in their traditional red and white stripes.

God knows what Freathy score is going to be today(7-0). I am hoping for a surprise and take a 2-1.

Not realistically expecting anything from today. So long as we give a good account of ourselves and take a decent performance into the next league game, to keep our recent upturn in confidence high.

Good luck to Ryan and the players today, I think they will give a good account of themselves.
COYG cheers

At the end of the day we are away at a Premier League side so realistically we're out of the FA Cup today. Given that Prem survival looks completely out of the question for the Blades they will surely go out to win today especially as the prize for them is a very winnable 5th round. At least we'll be free to 100% concentrate on our own fight against relegation.

Good luck to the lads today, hope they can put on a good performance.

You never know but as Freathy says they have everything to play for and I think we will struggle to get the ball to play with. Anyway fingers crossed and as Czarks says we all want a confidence building performance if nothing else. Sheffield 4 Argyle 1.

I'll buck the trend and go for a draw at 90 but lose in ET or on penalties

Long as we put up a good fight I'll be happy
