Palace Preview: Eagles' finishing could be the difference v Sheffield United

Crystal Palace kick of 2021 by welcoming Sheffield United to Selhurst Park on Saturday, January 2nd (15:00 GMT).

After a hard-fought draw against Leicester City on Monday, Palace can start the year on the front foot with victory over the Blades.

Sheffield United have struggled this season, failing to win any of their 16 games in the league so far. Their two points is their lowest total at this stage of a Premier League season, their next lowest being 12 points after 16 games in 1993/94.

However, Palace will be aware of the threat they pose after losing both games last season – they haven’t lost three consecutive games to Sheffield United since April 1973.
