Crystal Palace vs Sheffield United odds
CRYSTAL PALACE VS SHEFFIELD UNITED
Although there are still 17 games left, Sheffield United know they need to step things up if they are to harbour any hopes of safety this season. The Blades are bottom of the Premier League and seven points from safety, while 18th-placed Luton also have a game in hand. Sheffield United have won just two of their 21 games so far this season and go into this match winless in five since their victory over Brentford. They have lost three times and drawn twice, stealing a point against West Ham last time out thanks to an injury-time penalty.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are dropping down the table and though they sit five points above the relegation zone there are fears that they could be dragged into the battle. The Eagles are suffering under Roy Hodgson with just five wins this season — only the bottom three have won fewer matches — and 10 defeats. They have the third-worst attack and were thrashed 5-0 by Arsenal last time out, piling on the pressure.
