Crystal Palace are usually a very dependable midtable team, but after just one win in their last 10 EPL matches, the South London side have slipped down the table and are in danger of getting swept into the relegation battle. Manager Roy Hodgson is facing increasing pressure and the persistent rumors that talismanic winger Michael Olise wants a transfer to another club isn’t helping matters either. Palace need to get back to winning ways fast.
For that reason, the arrival of bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Utd is well-timed. Sheffield Utd have managed just two wins all season, with their last victory coming back in early December. The Blades are now seven points from safety, and looking like a sure bet to be playing in the Championship next season. However, they are still a scrappy side capable of giving teams a tough time. Recent draws against West Ham and Aston Villa are proof that they won't go down without a fight.
Here's how they line up:
Crystal Palace: Henderson, Richards, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Hughes, Lerma, Eze, Olise, Ayew, Mateta.
Sheffield Utd: Grbic, Trusty, Robinson, Ahmedhodzic, Bogle, Souza, Hamer, McAtee, Slimane, Brereton Diaz, McBurnie.
Can Crystal Palace get a much-needed win to push themselves closer to the comfort of midtable? Or will Sheffield Utd begin an unlikely survival push with an unexpected win? You’ll need to watch a Crystal Palace vs Sheffield Utd live stream to find out and we’ve all the details you need down below.
