How Sheffield United could line up against Crystal Palace

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Sheffield United could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Crystal Palace.

Sheffield United come into Saturday's Premier League clash at home to Crystal Palace with no fresh injury concerns, although Paul Heckingbottom still has an unenviable list of absentees to deal with.

Centre-back Jack O'Connell remains out of contention, having been out of action since September with a knee injury.

The loss of O'Connell has been a big factor in the Blades' downturn this season, while his replacement centre-back Jack Robinson is also out of action through injury.

Heckingbottom's concerns do not just come at the back either, as forwards Billy Sharp (thigh) and Oli McBurnie (foot) will both miss the remainder of the season.

They were boosted by several returns recently though, as centre-back Chris Basham was fit to start against Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday while midfielder Sander Berge made an appearance off the bench.

The Norweigan featured for the first time since he picked up a hamstring injury in December, and he is likely to be eased back into action with another cameo off the bench given the length of his time on the sidelines.

Ben Osborn has brought new life to the Sheffield United midfield recently, and he will offer plenty of energy behind the forward line on Saturday.

David McGoldrick is expected to lead the line for the Blades, having scored seven of their 18 Premier League goals this season.

In the absence of Sharp and McBurnie, McGoldrick is likely to be joined by Rhian Brewster, who is yet to find the net for his new side since joining from Liverpool at the beginning of the campaign.

Sheffield United possible starting XI: Ramsdale; Baldock, Egan, Basham; Bogle, Norwood, Osborn, Fleck, Stevens; McGoldrick, Brewster
