Sheffield United vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Goal Odsonne Édouard

Traore profits on a slip from Guehi and spreads the ball wide to Baldock. He tees up Norwood to cross into the area, but the midfielder's attempt is overhit and sails straight into Johnstone's gloves.

Edouard gets the second half underway, and we're back up and running at Bramall Lane!

The teams are back and ready for the second half, and given how tight it's been so far, you get the sense that the opening goal could be crucial!

Eze has pulled the strings with aplomb so far for Palace, continuing the strong form he showed to earn an England call up last season. In the first 45 minutes of the new campaign, the Eagles' number 10 has fired off five shots, with four being blocked, as well as creating three chances from 10 passes in the final third. He's also attempted five crosses, and won a sole free-kick as he looks to drive Palace forward with every opportunity he gets on the ball.

An end-to-end first half ends goalless, with both sides having plenty of opportunities but being let down by a lack of quality in the final third. Palace did have the ball in the net, but Ayew's header was rightly chalked off for offside, and while Osula curled an early effort just wide for the Blades, it's Palace who have had the majority of chances. Andersen and Doucoure have both forced Foderingham into saves, but the goalkeeper has otherwise been well protected by an organised defence who have blocked and cleared everything Palace have thrown at them.

HALF-TIME: SHEFFIELD UNITED 0-0 CRYSTAL PALACE.

Osborne's delivery sails into the box but is well claimed by Johnstone at his far post, and that should just about be that for the first half.

Lerma slides in wildly to clip Traore from behind, giving Sheffield United a late free-kick chance on the stroke of half-time.

We'll play just the one additional minute to close out the a closely-fought first half at Bramall Lane.
