Crystal Palace are without a win in five matches but three points against Sheffield United would take them level on points with their opponents at Selhurst Park.

The Blades, in eighth place, have won only one of their last six but triumphed 1-0 in the reverse fixture in August.

Team news

Luka Milivojevic is available for Crystal Palace having served a three-match suspension.

Christian Benteke, Joel Ward, Andros Townsend and Patrick van Arnholt are all fit again, but Cenk Tosun (hamstring) is ruled out.

Sheffield United forward David McGoldrick (foot) is the only injury doubt for Chris Wilder.
