Palace Preview: Explaining Sheffield United’s eye catching tactics

In recent games, Crystal Palace have upheld an impressive record against promoted sides seeking to take points from Selhurst Park. Indeed, the Eagles have earned 10 from a potential 12 points against the league’s most recent arrivals when pitted together in SE25.

With Sheffield United travelling south this Saturday, however, Roy Hodgson’s men face a stern test of their form in such games.

The Blades take on Palace having overcome the Eagles last August in a 1-0 win at Bramall Lane. That day, United picked up their first Premier League win in 12 years via a John Lundstram strike in the 47th minute.
