Wilf He Stay Or Will He Go Now?
Palace's main man could still depart to a continental destination but for now he has his head down and is ready to start. With the Ivorian in their ranks the Eagles have been devastating on the road in 2019.
Bramall Lane makes an overdue return to the Premier League on Sunday afternoon but surely they need to win a few matches at this level before meriting favouritism in a fixture such as this?
The bookies clearly disagree with 6/4 on the hosts being thrown about while BetVictor go as long as 21/10 on Crystal Palace taking the spoils. That’s where our money will head for this encounter.
The Eagles may have had a turbulent summer, but while Wilfried Zaha remains in situ, they have plenty of reasons to think they can extend their top flight stay beyond seven consecutive seasons.
Crucially, they are the team that traditionally perform above expectation on the road. In 2018-19 they ranked 6th in the away table and won as many on their travels as Man Utd and Chelsea, including 5 of their last 6.
Sheffield Utd will be fun to watch this season, and may surprise a few, but Palace’s bread and butter has been finding success in fixtures such as this.
