Team News

Sheff Utd
Crystal Palace
  • Sheffield United will be without John Fleck, Rhian Brewster, Ismaila Coulibaly, Jayden Bogle and Rhys Norrington-Davies for their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.
  • Michael Olise is out with a thigh injury and isn't expected to return until mid-September
  • Tyrick Mitchell is a doubt but may return to the squad after recovering from his thigh injury
  • Matheus Franca de Oliviera will also miss out through injury.

Prediction

  • Sheffield United kick off their return to the Premier League with a home fixture against Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace.
  • The Blades have lost two key players in Iliman Ndiaye and Sander Berge and are likely to have a tough season and they would love to get their campaign off to a bright start against a Palace side who have lost their talisman Wilfried Zaha.
  • This may not be the spectacle desired for an opening day fixture given that Sheffield United have seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches against Crystal Palace in all competitions.
  • This could be a low-scoring close affair.
