Crystal Palace v Sheff Utd

Crystal Palace vs Sheffield United Preview

Crystal Palace were dealt a particularly heavy 5-0 defeat away from home at London rivals, Arsenal, last time out in the Premier League and this landslide loss at the Emirates Stadium has resulted in Roy Hodgson's side sliding down the Premier League table to a worrying 15th place and just five points above the relegation zone, while Sheffield United's winless run in the top flight was extended to five games after a 2-2 draw at home with West Ham.

Crystal Palace have now managed to win just once in their previous 10 games overall in the English top flight with this rare highlight coming in the form of a 3-1 home win against London rivals, Brentford, while also slipping to six defeats in the process as well.

Defeats at the hands of Everton, Luton Town, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have prevented The Eagles from lifting themselves further away from the relegation battle below them, so the hosts will be anxious to grab the three points here on Tuesday night no doubt.

Wins on home soil at Selhurst Park have been at a premium so far this season for Crystal Palace as Roy Hodgson's side have managed to pick up just two victories from their total of 10 home games played to date but even so, victories against Wolves and Brentford should stand the hosts in good stead for Tuesday night.

Onto Sheffield United and The Blades gained a point with a 2-2 draw at home against West Ham last time out but nevertheless, this actually only extended the Yorkshire club's winless run in the Premier League to five games and has left the visitors seven points adrift of safety prior to this Tuesday night's tussle at Selhurst Park.

League wins have also been at a premium for Sheffield United upon their return to the English top flight as The Blades have managed to capture just two wins throughout was has been a very disappointing campaign firstly for former manager Paul Heckingbottom, and also new boss Chris Wilder.

It's important to note that both of Sheffield United's wins this season have both been registered on home soil at Bramall Lane with victories gained over the likes of Wolves and Brentford but the visitors have also slipped to 15 losses within their total of 21 games overall this term.

Results away from home though have been even poorer as Sheffield United have failed to win any of their 10 outings on the road to date this season, drawing twice and losing the other eight games.
