Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace Prediction

The Blades will fancy their chances against Crystal Palace and if they do so they will notch up a second win in three games. However, a 4-0 defeat against Spurs showed that Sheffield United don’t have much fight left in them. We expect Zaha to be too strong and Palace to return home with all three points.

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

After a stray win over Brighton & Hove Albion, Sheffield United returned to type with a 4-0 away defeat against Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. After this game, the Blades have three more games to go to complete the most miserable season in their history. For the Eagles, their safety is very nearly guaranteed and they should be able to play with more of a freedom and attacking flair than seen recently.
Sheffield United have lost 27 Premier League games, a record in one season for the club.

As games with nothing to play for go, this game is right up there as Sheffield United welcome Crystal Palace to Bramall Lane. This will be the penultimate home game for the bottom of the table Blades before they return to the second tier. Palace are 13th, only two points above Newcastle in 17th, but still eleven points above the relegation zone. The Premier League match takes place on May 8 and the live action at Bramall Lane kicks off at 15:00 local time.
