    All over.

    Sheffield United set an unwanted record of 17 games without victory from the start of a season - they remain anchored to the bottom.

    Palace's win takes them up to 12th.

    Late change for Palace. What's the point?

    Luka Milivojevic makes way for Jairo Riedewald.

    I've been impressed by Andros Townsend today and the work rate he has shown to get up and down the pitch.

    Crystal Palace 2-0 Sheffield Utd

    One shot on target in 90 minutes, two more in injury time.

    David McGoldrick takes aim from a long way out but it is bread and butter for Vicente Guaita.

    Crystal Palace 2-0 Sheffield Utd

    Ohhh so close for Sheffield United, what a story this would have been.

    Teenager Antwoine Hackford receives the ball in the box, spins and shoots at goal but the effort is cleared off the line by Joel Ward.

    Sheffield United have lacked the quality that changes games - they over achieved when they got promoted last season, played out their skin and were clinical. But this season they have just really struggled.

    Aaron Ramsdale fills me with no confidence.

    The Sheffield United goalkeeper comes off his line to claim a corner but under no pressure, drops the ball in the box.

    Fortunately for him, a team-mate is on hand to clear.

  10. CLOSE!published at 83 mins

    Great block from Sheffield United skipper John Egan, flinging his body in the way of Andros Townsend's effort which was bound for the back of the net.

    SUFC's loyalty to Wilder is commendable, but if 2 points from 17 games isn't enough to get you the sack I don't know what is. Then again, who else would want the job at this point?

    Fed up of hearing about Brewster. He has been given plenty of chances and come up short. McBurnie and McGoldrick are more proven in the both prem and championship.

    Antwoine Hackford has got a little moustache growing.

    But only just.

    Check this out.

    Antwoine Hackford, at 16 years and 288 days, comes on for his first-time debut for Sheffield United.

    I feel old.

    He replaces Ben Osborn.

    Sheffield United have to stop conceding goals. They need to be better in possession, they're becoming a bit predictable.

    The main thing is the quality at the top of the field. Sheffield United at the moment are blunt.

    Should be the third but Andros Townsend screws horribly wide from the edge of the box.

    Game management level from Palace in the second half = 100.

    Crystal Palace have been good. Sheffield United, to be fair to them, have been OK as well in terms of effort but they're missing something up top.

    But Eberechi Eze's goal, he turned into Maradona for a second!

    Sheffield United threaten from a corner but Oliver Norwood's low cross is straight at Vicente Guaita.

    Crystal Palace are comfortable - they don't go away from their game plan even now they're 2-0 up they could easily go a little bit gung ho and commit numbers forward but they don't. They just practice what they preach and try and get two or three numbers in the box. Very well drilled from Palace.
