On the 12th of August, in this week 1 match, Sheffield United will play host to Crystal Palace in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 19 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Sheffield United has not played yet this season, and neither has Crystal Palace.
Sheffield United is opening up their season on a high note after being promoted last season, while Crystal Palace is playing their first match this season after last season’s 11th place finish.
Paul Heckingbottom’s Sheffield United squad will be without John Fleck, Oliver Norwood, Jayden Bogle, Ismaila Cheick Coulibaly and Daniel Jebbison, while Crystal Palace will be without Michael Olise and Mitchell.
