Sheffield United’s first home game in the Premier League for 12 years is bound to be an evocative occasion. While locals would like nothing better than to see local hero Billy Sharp score the winning goal, they will also be mindful of the threat posed by Palace’s Wilfried Zaha. Roy Hodgson concedes Zaha may leave south London before the European transfer window closes, but seems determined to start his side’s creative catalyst in South Yorkshire. Much may hinge on how Hodgson counters Chris Wilder’s famous overlapping centre-halves. Louise Taylor
