Frank Lampard’s side have shown serious improvements in recent weeks, having now kept a clean sheet in their last five successive matches, and can move into the top four with a victory.
It’s been a different story for Sheffield United so far, though, with Chris Wilder’s side taking just one point from their opening seven games. Furthermore, the Blades have only scored three goals in total and desperately need a result to kickstart their season. Follow all the action below live:
64 min
Quick feet from Zaha, who latches onto a pass down the line from van Aanholt and wins a free kick off Cooper. This is a dangerous position for Palace…
59 min
Leeds are struggling to work their way through Palace’s typically compact defence. At the moment, the hosts look relatively comfortable.
55 min
Palace make a meal of defending another corner, almost allowing Koch to bring the ball down and shoot. Eventually, Townsend hacks clear.
52 min
Ayew drifts inside and has a shot blocked. Eze then goes for goal from 20 yards out, curling his effort wide.
51 min
Close! Struijk climbs highest from a corner and guides a header just wide from close range. He probably should’ve scored.
50 min
Zaha weaves his way into the box, twisting and turning and looking for room to shoot. He’s crowed out by a sea of white shirts.
Kick-off
Leeds get the second half underway. They’ve made a change, too, bringing on Raphinha for Costa.
