The Blades won a place in round four after a comfortable 5-0 victory over League Two outfit Morecambe; Billy Sharp (2), Luton Shelton (2) and Luton Shelton all netted their first ever Blades goals to secure the win.
United were thrown into the hat and could have faced West Ham United whom they so desperately wanted to avoid and Coventry City; who's shock 2-0 reverse at Manchester United knocked out the Premier League Champions. However they were drawn against Arsenal who they have not played in this competition since 1971-72 season where United won 2-0 on aggregate.
Meanwhile Robbie Fowler has been handed a dream tie and will return to Anfield with Cardiff City whilst Luton Town; the lowest ranked team where drawn against Everton.
The most exciting tie of the round however belongs to Bolton Wanderers who were handed a Lancastrian Derby against Manchester City at the Reebok Stadium.
