Sheffield United’s injury problems are beginning to ease, with Sander Berge having returned from a thigh injury in the 4-0 loss to Tottenham last weekend.

Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom does, though, still have some fitness concerns ahead of the game against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Ethan Ampadu (groin) is a doubt while Jack O’Connell (knee), Oli McBurnie (foot) and captain Billy Sharp (thigh) are all still sidelined.

Sheffield United’s Predicted XI To Play Crystal Palace:

Ramsdale, Baldock, Basham, Egan, Bryan, Stevens, Norwood, Osborn, Fleck, McGoldrick, Brewster

Eagles boss Roy Hodgson is sweating over the fitness of Wilfried Zaha (groin), while James McArthur (calf), Nathan Ferguson (thigh), James Tomkins (head), Mamadou Sakho (thigh) have all been ruled out.

Crystal Palace’s Predicted XI:

Guaita, Ward, Kouyate, Dann, van Aanholt, Riedewald, Milivojevic, Eze, Townsend, Benteke, Ayew

The bookies have made Palace the favourites with William Hill pricing them at 8/5 for the win. A draw is 9/4 with Betway while a victory for the Blades is 2/1 at Betfred.

Predicted Score – 0-0
