The stakes are acutely low at Bramall Lane as Sheffield United prepare for the Championship against long-since safe Crystal Palace. United fans will be pleased to see Sander Berge back in the starting lineup but that is where the good feeling begins and ends. Paul Heckingbottom’s tenure has been poor (two goals scored with 17 conceded in seven matches) and Roy Hodgson will be confident Palace can capitalise to end their rough spell of three successive defeats.
