Crystal Palace travel to Yorkshire on Sunday to take on newly-promoted Sheffield United in their first away game of the 2019-20 Premier League campaign.
The Eagles produced a solid display in their opening fixture of the season, drawing 0-0 at home to Everton. Roy Hodgson and his time will be looking to build on that this Sunday when they go to Bramhall Lane.
A trip north indicates the start of Palace’s away campaign in the league this season, and they will be hoping to continue their progress on the road, having picked up 29 of their 49 league points away from Selhurst Park last season.
Nine of the Eagles’ 14 wins came on the road last season and, whilst they will want to improve at home, their away form is a clear strength. A system and personnel suited to playing on the counter-attack show that Hodgson’s side will continue to be a potent threat on the road this season.
Below, I’ve amassed a combined line-up of players who are likely to feature on Sunday at Bramhall Lane…
