    Crystal Palace are hosting Sheffield United today as both clubs search for some much-needed form. The Blades are in particularly dire straits without a win all season and rooted to the bottom of the table. But they will sense an opportunity here against a Palace side who are sinking fast and in desperate need of points themselves. 

    Palace make two changes as Joel Ward and James McArthur come into the side for Nathaniel Clyne and Jairo Riedewald. Sheffield United are without nine senior players for a variety of reasons including some recent positive Covid-19 tests. Oli Norwood starts and the 20-year-old Jayden Bogle gets a run in the starting XI too.

    Follow all the latest from the game below.

    Crystal Palace 2 - 0 Sheffield United

    45+6 mins: Half time. Advantage Crystal Palace at the break. The home side have probably been the better team but it’s a close run contest but that second goal could be a gamechanger. The Blades have shown some promise in the final third and can get back into this game. It should be an interesting second half.
