Despite winning just once in nine games (W1-D6-L2) Palace are still a highly respectable 11th in the table, level on points with Arsenal and three behind their visitors for this one.
However, with the three teams directly below them who also sit on 30 points, the Eagles could sink down the table quite rapidly if they can’t manage more than stalemates.
Palace And Sheffield United To Draw
A point might be what they have to settle for hosting Chris Wilder’s men though. Only Wolves and Arsenal have drawn more games than the nine both Palace and Sheffield Utd have this term, with seven of the Blades’ stalemates coming on the road.
Excluding results against the top four, the visitors have drawn six of nine unbeaten trips, as two of the victories came over teams five points or more below Palace in the table and fighting it out around the drop zone.
Chances should be at a premium in this encounter as defences are likely to come out on top. Palace and Sheffield Utd’s matches have seen fewer goals per game than everyone else in the division, with the reverse fixture featuring just the solitary strike.
Across all competitions, 10 of Palace’s last 12 games have seen fewer than three goals, as have each of Sheffield Utd’s last nine when excluding a 2-1 home win over minnows Fylde in the FA Cup.
Palace And Sheffield United To Draw
The prices for ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ is understandably skinny and the strong possibility of a 1-1 draw certainly puts us off going lower.
Indeed, each of Palace’s last five stalemates have been score draws, with four of these finishing 1-1, while each of the Blades’ last six single-pointers were score draws, as all but one ended 1-1.
Roy Hodgson looks to have both Patrick van Aanholt and Christian Benteke back out on the training ground for the first time in 2020, though we somewhat doubt either player will start in this one.
Indeed, in Jordan Ayew and Cenk Tosun they have two respectable forwards in front of the Belgian international, while Jairo Riedewald has filled the left back void admirably.
Interestingly, the Eagles have drawn six of their seven outings without van Aanholt starting from the off this term and that looks the way to go again.
