THE TEAM NEWS
CRYSTAL PALACE
In his pre-match press conference, Roy Hodgson has confirmed that attacking midfielder, Michael Olise, has returned to the squad and will be fit and available for the visit of Sheffield United on Tuesday evening.
Despite that boost, Palace remain without long-term absentees Cheick Doucoure and Rob Holding, whilst Joel Ward is out unavailable but Jordan Ayew’s Ghana have been knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations so could be available.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Henderson; Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell; Richards, Lerma; Ayew, Hughes, Eze; Mateta
UNAVAILABLE: Doucoure (Injured), Ward (Injured), Holding (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Rak-Sakyi (Injured)
SHEFFIELD UTD
Chris Wilder has said that new signing, Ivo Grbic, will become Sheffield United’s number one goalkeeper, with Wes Foderingham already reportedly asking for a move away from the club on loan until the end of the season.
The Blades will be able to welcome back both Yasser Larouci and Anis Ben Slimane for this one after Algeria and Tunisia were knocked out of the Africa Cup of Nations. Rhian Brewster remains suspended but Max Lowe and Tom Davies could return.
PREDICTED XI (4-1-4-1): Grbic; Bogle, Ahmedhodzic, Robinson, Trusty; Souza; McAtee, Hamer, Brooks, Brereton Diaz; Osula
UNAVAILABLE: Basham (Injured), Egan (Injured), Baldock (Injured), Brewster (Suspended)
QUESTIONABLE: Davies (Injured), Lowe (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Crystal Palace have been extremely underwhelming across the last few months. The Eagles’ 21 matches have consisted of just five victories with just 22 goals scored and they have managed just two victories in their last 16 matches across all competitions. They now face a Sheffield United side that are also reactive and low-scoring throughout the campaign with just 17 goals scored in 21 games. A low-scoring encounter is to be expected at Selhurst Park with under 2.5 goals most likely.
TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
