Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Sheffield United and Crystal Palace at Bramall Lane!
SHEFFIELD UNITED STARTING XI (3-5-2): Dean Henderson; Chris Basham, John Egan, Jack O'Connell; George Baldock, John Lundstram, Oliver Norwood, John Fleck, Enda Stevens; David McGoldrick, Callum Robinson.
Premier League football returns to Bramall Lane for the first time in 12 years and United will be hoping to get their home campaign off to a winning start after earning a point last weekend with a 1-1 against Bournemouth through Billy Sharp's late equaliser. Palace also secured a point last weekend after being held to a 0-0 draw against Everton. Last season, it was their away form that helped them to stay up and they will want to recreate some of that success today to get their first win of the season.
SHEFFIELD UNITED SUBS: Phil Jagielka, Muhamed Besic, Oliver McBurnie, Luke Freeman, Simon Moore, Ben Osborn, Billy Sharp.
CRYSTAL PALACE STARTING XI (4-4-2): Vicente Guaita; Joel Ward, Martin Kelly, Scott Dann, Patrick van Aanholt; Andros Townsend, James McArthur, Luka Milivojevic, Max Meyer; Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha.
CRYSTAL PALACE SUBS: Wayne Hennessey, Jordan Ayew, Connor Wickham, Cheikhou Kouyate, Jeffrey Schlupp, James McCarthy, Gary Cahill.
The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.
Wilder will be happy with how his team have played as they controlled much of the game despite having less possession. If they continue to push forward quickly the way they have, then they will cause Palace a lot of problems if they can just get their shots on target. Palace, on the other hand, need to improve their play in the final third. Zaha has been trying to make things happen, but they barely threatened Henderson's goal.
United have four points from their opening two games following their promotion into the Premier League and Wilder will be happy with the start they've made. Up next for them is a tough test though as they host Leicester City next weekend. Hodgson's side are yet to score in the season, which is something he will hope his side can change when they face Manchester United next time out.
