More realistic for Sheffield United is a place in the Europa League and the team is only a point adrift of seventh-place Arsenal with five games remaining. Burnley is two points behind Sheffield United in ninth. Sheffield United has only won one of its four games since the restart of the league.

Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley turned in a cross from Willian midway through the second half in a 1-0 win at lackluster Leicester. United defender John Egan's header early in the second half was also chalked off. Arsenal has won the FA Cup a record 13 times, one more than Manchester United which squeezed into the semis with an extra-time win against 10-man Norwich on Saturday.

The win at an empty St. James Park lifted Newcastle to 38 points, 11 clear of the relegation zone with eight matches remaining. Five minutes later, Ritchie played a ball across the area, Sheffield United left back Enda Stevens completely missed his kick, and Saint-Maximin applied a finish at the far post past goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Sheffield United stayed in seventh place, two points behind fifth-place Manchester United.
