Match Preview: Blades v Crystal Palace

Sunday August 18th, 2019 9:00 A.M. EST

Bramall Lane


Well the first game in the Prem for the Blades showcased their grit and determination, along with a better overall performance than most pundits probably thought they would see from them.  A lot of head scratching with the selection of Lundstram but overall he performed well as did the rest of the squad. The living legend Billy got the equalizer and a very good point was gotten by the Blades against the Cherries.  Now on to first home match of the season against Palace who is coming off a draw themselves against Everton.

These two sides have not met on awhile and it will be very interesting to see what lineup Mr. Wilder goes for in this one.  Zaha being the main threat for Palace and it will be key to deal and get into him early on to send the message that the Blades are ready to roll.  Asides from Zaha, no other strong threat is really had from the Eagles and as long as the Blades come out and perform  like us fans know they can a very good result can be had.

Will McBurnie or Billy get the start? Only time will tell, less than 48 hours to go.
