Team news

Sheffield united record signing Oliver McBurnie will be looking forward to making the starting line up, while Luke Freeman is also in contention to be involved from kickoff depending on the formation Chris Wilder decides to play.

Billy Sharp could be in the starting line-up as he scored the equalizer at Bournemouth after coming off the bench.

Jeffrey Schlupp is back in contention to make the team.

New signing Gary Cahill should play a part while James McCarthy and Victor Camarasa are also available for selection.

Mamdou Sakho is still sidelined due to a knee problem while defender James Tomkins continues to recover from a groin injury.

@Komptrolla's Prediction and betting tip

Sheffield United are also playing at home for the first time, very much interesting to look forward to against Crystal Palace and their roaring fans will have a chance to get behind them much more than the traveling fans at the Vitality Stadium last weekend.

The Eagles travel well, at least from last season and can bring that here, but will the Blades allow them to earn a point at Bramall Lane?

Verdict: Sheffield to win or draw

Player to watch: Dean Henderson
