Five Palace players with a point to prove against Sheffield United

Crystal Palace are back in action on Sunday afternoon, making the trip to Premier League newcomers Sheffield United.

The Eagles started their season in rather serene fashion, playing out a forgettable 0-0 draw with Everton at Selhurst Park, although they arguably did enough to win.

A draw was no disaster, however, and Roy Hodgson’s men will now hope to kick on this weekend.

The Blades got an impressive 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, coming from behind to snatch a late point, thanks to Billy Sharp’s dramatic equaliser.

Bramall Lane will be full of noise on Sunday, making for a potentially tricky encounter for Palace, who will need to make sure they also raise their game.

If they don’t, there is every chance they could come unstuck.

A number of players have a point to prove this weekend, from key men to fringe players, ensuring they keep Hodgson happy in the process.

Here are four individuals who stand out.
