39'
Eze is taking an age to get his boots on. The Palace coaching staff look distinctly unimpressed.
38'
Eze is getting ready and could replace the injured Schlupp, who is in a bit of bother.
36'
Schlupp needs treatment, he is down holding his leg.
34'
McGoldrick is having to come deep to get involved in the game but the visitiors need a targetman.

32'
CHANCE! From Zaha's sqaure pass, Benteke's near-post flick is just wide. The officials had signalled a corner but the decision is overturned and its a goal kick.
31'
More tempo is needed by the visitors on the break. There is a promising counter involving McGoldrick but another poor final ball.
30'
Well drilled comes to mind when watching Palace, their 4-4-2 is working like a well oiled machine thus far particularly how Ward and Zaha are working together on the flank.
28'
I dont think Guiata has touched the ball yet.
26'
Zaha is fouled and its a free-kick. Townsend's delivery to the far post finds Tomkins who heads it across but its a free-kick to the hosts.
24'
There has been a good tempo to this game, less cagey than expected.
22'
Zaha and Ampadu continuing to exchange a few choice words after a coming together 5 minutes ago. The season of goodwill and all that.
-
Sheffield United remain the only Premier League side in 2020-21 without a cleansheet so far.
20'
The visitors have had good spells of possession, with both fullbacks getting involved, but have yet to test the keeper.
19'
Zaha has been getting involved in a few heated moments after some tasty challenges.
-
Schlupp celebrates scoring his side's first goal of 2021.

17'
Sheffield United have only picked up one point from losing positions this season which is 50% of their points tally thus far.
15'
The visitors have responded well to going behind. Mousset wins a corner which is headed clear by that man Benteke.
14'
Benteke has now been directly involved in four goals in five Premier League starts this campaign, surpassing his tally from the whole of last season.
13'
Ampadu finds Bogle who tries to play it into the box but Palace are back in numbers. Zaha then launches a counter attack but is fouled.
-
Palace have netted 11 first-half goals in the Premier League this season, one more than they netted before half-time in the whole of 2019-20.
