The newly promoted Premier League side, Sheffield United, are all set to welcome Crystal Palace to Bramall Lane on Saturday.
As for the hosts, Paul Heckingbottom has lifted the club back into the English top flight since their last relegation in 2021 but have lost out on the likes of Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille and Sander Berger to Burnley in the transfer window.
It was not until Roy Hodgson's arrived at Selhurst Park that Palace ultimately managed to avoid the drop and even finish a point above Chelsea in 11th position last season. Notably without Wilfried Zaha, the Eagles are now in their 11th straight season in the Premier League.
