Half-chances, they stack up across the season. Sheffield United must be talking to each other and saying 'we've got to be scoring some of these'.

Oliver Norwood floats in a corner delivery from the right. It's headed on by David McGoldrick but Chris Basham smashes it wide and into the side-netting.

Anon: John’s gone all showbiz on us. He’s off to Hollywood now.

I'm sure that's not the case. John's been with us for years, he sent us 999 unused texts remember!

A debut for Sheffield United's Daniel Jebbison. All the best to him! He is on for Oliver Burke.

David McGoldrick loses out to Andros Townsend and the latter leads the break for Palace.

It comes to Eberechi Eze on the edge of the box but he has no options so goes back.

That was a great save at the near post. Aaron Ramsdale stood up, waited and didn't gamble.

Ben Osborn is on for Sander Berge, who started his first game since December. A good run out!

He absolutely smashes this!

Christian Benteke robs it off John Fleck, gets the better of Kean Bryan and thumps it against the right post via a slight fingertip touch off Aaron Ramsdale.

George Baldock escapes down the right and tries to cut it back for Chris Basham.

Basham trods on Eberechi Eze's foot to get to the ball first and it's a free-kick in Palace's favour.

Christian Benteke nods away the corner and Eberechi Eze breaks for Palace.

Time and time again Sheffield United have missed chances like these. It's why they're in the position that they're in.

Oh what a chance!

Oliver Norwood- puts the corner in from the right and it falls for John Egan.

He's completely unmarked and has time to chest it down but he completely slices it over the bar! Has to score! He can't believe he's missed...

Lewis: John's family having a word with him now, he needs to keep up the high press into the second half - he won't be happy settling with 3 at his current rate. He has the moderator on the ropes...

John hasn't messaged us since 15:17, where's the knockout text?

George Baldock flicks it inside to Sander Berge, who continues his run into the box.

Tyrick Mitchell is caught on his heels and tries to get a toe on it inside the box but he's lucky Berge stays on his feet.

It goes out for a goal kick in the end but if Berge had gone down, Mitchell definitely clipped him slightly. We've seen them given!

No changes from either side at the break.

David McGoldrick gets in behind Joel Ward on the left but Cheikhou Kouyate comes across to cover.
