The Blades have won their last eight matches in all competitions, after plumbing the depths in the first half of the season and are just ninety minutes away from an appearance in the FA Cup semi-final next April, with Charlton standing in their way and just eight points from the League One play-offs.

Porter has been a vital cog in the Blades renaissance, hitting four goals in their fine FA Cup run, including the winner in the round one clash at Colchester and two dramatic late goals in the thrilling fifth-round victory over Nottingham Forest on February 16.

Check out Porter’s video thoughts ahead of Sunday’s quarter-final clash with Charlton.
