Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace Lineups and Last Match
Sheff Utd
The Blades will be expecting a tough return to the Premier League after seeing a number of their best players sold in the summer without adequate replacements being brought in so far. Fleck, Brewster, Coulibaly, Bogle, Norwood, Jebbison, McBurnie and Norrington-Davies are all injury concerns for the hosts this weekend.
Predicted Lineup – Davies (GK), Baldock, Trusty, Basham, Edgan, Osborn, Berge, Norwood, Ahmedhodžić, Traoré & McBurnie
Crystal Palace
The Eagles have looked decent in pre-season but they are still one of the teams that pundits feel could be involved in a relegation battle this season. Olise has been ruled out of the opening game against Sheff Utd which is a big blow, while there are also doubts over Mitchell, Hughes and new signing Franca.
Predicted Lineup – Johnstone (GK), Ward, Mitchell, Guehi, Andersen, Doucouré, Lerma, Eze, Ayew, Hughes & Edouard

Player to Watch: Eberechi Eze
The Crystal Palace midfielder, Eberechi Eze, was arguably their best player last season, chipping in with goals and assists on a regular basis.
With Zaha finally ending his second spell at Selhurst Park this summer, the spotlight is going to be focused on the likes of Olise and Eze this season, and we're backing the latter to be the standout performer this weekend.
Eze, 26, has proven to be a real goal threat as well as a creative force for the Eagles and now that he is heading into his prime, we're expecting a big campaign from the Englishman.
