Sheffield United v Crystal Palace LIVE

Key Events

  • Palace went ahead after just over a minute through Benteke

The view from our man James

from his vantage point at Bramall Lane

comfortably from Benteke after a weak shot, after the striker was allowed to juggle the ball in the United box before shooting - he was flagged offside but replays showed it’d have been interesting to see the VAR decision if it had gone in

Here’s the opening goal

if you can bear to watch it again... fans of good defending, look away now

United starting to settle

a bit now after the early shock of that Benteke goal - Eze really is some player and will be fancying himself to have a hand in a few more goals this afternoon against United’s confidence-shot backline

and just over a minute on the clock when Benteke puts the visitors ahead, Eze raced through the United defence again and squared to Benteke whose shot deflected off Baldock past Ramsdale - what a shocking start for the Blades

And we’re underway

as the players, apart from Wilf Zaha, take the knee before kick-off - let’s go!

Here come the teams

at an empty Bramall Lane - Palace emerge first before United join them

Spotlight on the latest young Blade

James’ verdict on the team news

from Bramall Lane - three changes made by Paul Heckingbottom

and there’s three changes for the Blades - Bryan, Berge and Burke all start, with Jebbison indeed named on the bench

And for the visitors...
