Still licking their wounds from their FA Cup exit, Sheffield United journey to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace in round 22 of the Premier League on Tuesday.
The Eagles have won their last three games against the visitors and head into the midweek clash looking to extend this impressive run.
Crystal Palace were condemned to their heaviest defeat of the season last time out when they were hammered 5-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
This followed a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Everton at Goodison Park on January 17 which saw their FA Cup campaign come to an end in the third round.
