Crystal Palace v Sheffield United: probable starters in bold, contenders in light. Illustration: The Guardian

Sheffield United took six points off Roy Hodgson’s side last season courtesy of two 1-0 wins but things have been much more difficult for the Blades this time around. Chris Wilder will be hoping they can finally record a first victory of the campaign, although Palace managed to stem the tide of goals they have been conceding in their draw with Leicester last week and will be no pushovers.
