Crystal Palace v Sheffield United: match preview

Crystal Palace v Sheffield United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Photograph: Guardian

Sheffield United have strengthened in the transfer window and club record signing Sander Berge may feature in midfield but most likely from the bench. Crystal Palace’s addition Cenk Tosun is missing with injury but Roy Hodgson welcomes back Andros Townsend and Christian Benteke from injury to cover the Turkish striker. Chris Wilder’s first win in the top flight was against Palace and the Blades can return to fifth place with another set of three points if results go their way. A tight game could be on the cards as Palace have neither scored or conceded more than twice in any of their 12 home games this season. Graham Searles
