Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Crystal Palace will be aiming to make amends for a massive 5-0 loss to Arsenal when they take on Sheffield United in the Premier League round 22. The Eagles will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Joel Ward, Rob Holding, Michael Olise, and Cheick Doucoure are sidelined with injuries, while Jordan Ayew should play some part in Tuesday’s clash after returning from international duty.
The Blades, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-2 FA Cup loss to Brighton, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Sheffield United forward Rhian Brewster is banned for the match, while John Egan misses the match with injury. Tom Davies is a major doubt and the midfielder will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Eberechi Eze):
Eberechi Eze is a talented football player who was born in Greenwich, England on June 29, 1998. Eze started his youth career at Millwall and in the summer of 2016 he moved to Queens Park Rangers, signing a one-year contract with the capital club.
Eze scored 4 goals in 42 appearances for the Hoops in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, while providing 4 assists for his teammates.His main position is attacking midfield, but he is capable of playing as both right and left midfielder as well. Eze is a footballer of Nigerian descent, but he has yet to make his debut for the Super Eagles in international matches.
Given his place of birth, the 173-cm tall midfielder was eligible to play for the England U20 team and he made his debut for the Three Lions on October 11, 2018 in a 2-1 victory over Italy. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Sheffield United):
Sheffield United are a professional football club that compete in the Championship. The Blades finished the 2016/2017 League One campaign in top position in the standings, with the team collecting exactly 100 points in the process. Sheffield United last competed in the Premier League in the 2006/2007 season and they were more than unfortunate not to secure the top flight survival.
The Blades finished the season in 18th place in the process and it has to be noted that they were level on points with Wigan Athletic, who managed to avoid the relegation to the English second tier. Sheffield United welcome their rivals at Bramal Lane, the stadium which was opened on April 30, 1855. The current capacity of the venue is 32.702.
The club have numerous rivalries, but the most notable one is the rivalry with their city neighbors Sheffield Wednesday. The two teams face each other in the Steel City derby and it has to be noted that United share rivalry with the likes of Barnsley, Rotherham United, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United as well.
