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

Yellow Card William Idamudia Daugaard Osula

BLOCKED!!! Eze and Edouard combine on the break for Palace, with the latter bypassing several defenders as he races into the box. He's forced wide and shoots from the left side of the box, but Ahmedhodzic gets back to block his effort away!

Sheffield United won their opening match in each of their first two Premier League campaigns, but have failed to do so in any of their subsequent three in 2006-07, 2019-20 and 2020-21.

Eze pops up in the box and twists away from Norwood. He then goes down under pressure from Baldock but the referee isn't convinced and waves away his penalty claims.

All six Premier League meetings between Sheffield United and Crystal Palace have seen the winning team keep a clean sheet – the Eagles won both meetings in both 1992-93 and 2020-21, while the Blades won both in 2019-20.

WIDE!!! Osula flicks a long ball on and gets it back from Traore. He picks his spot from the edge of the box and shoots, curling a low effort that rolls just around the wrong side of the far post!

Ayew skips down the right and looks to find Edouard on the edge of the box, but a series of deflections sends the loose ball back and into the gloves of Foderingham.

Baldock and Lerma tussle in the far corner, and the Colombian's block on the wing-back's cross sends the ball behind for the first corner of the game.

Between December 2006 and July 2020, Sheffield United won 10 consecutive Premier League home games against London sides. However, they failed to win any of their six such games in their last top-flight campaign of 2020-21, losing the last five in a row.

Osborn manages to turn his way out of a challenge before playing a one-two with Norwood down the left. He crosses the return ball into the box, but Andersen nods it clear with a strong defensive header.
