Gillingham v Sheffield United preview: Head coach Stephen Clemence on their FA Cup third round match at Priestfield, with team news

Gillingham won’t be sitting back when Premier League Sheffield United come to town.

“Every game is a challenge, this will be a bigger one, but we will be going to have a go. We’re not just going too roll over, we have to try and make an impact and try and disrupt Sheffield United’s rhythm, try and create some chances ourselves and see where it takes us.

“We won’t be sitting back and waiting to get beat, that’s for sure, we will do the best we can to get a result.”

The visitors sit bottom of the Premier League, with just two wins all season, and although they may be lacking confidence, the visitors will see a visit to Kent as a chance to give themselves a much needed boost.
