Both aiming to bounce back from shipping five goals last time out, Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace and Sheffield United meet at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.
While Palace still sit five points clear of the drop zone, the Blades are rock-bottom and have yet to win away from home.
Following a dismal 5-0 defeat to Arsenal in their most recent outing, Crystal Palace have won just one of their last 10 Premier League matches, and dismay with both the club ownership and first-team management has been made apparent by frustrated Eagles fans.
Once renowned for their defensive discipline under veteran coach Roy Hodgson, 62% of the capital club's league goals conceded this term have come during that 10-game run, in which they have leaked goals at a rate above two per game.
While their final fixture of 2023 ended in London derby success, with a 3-1 defeat of Brentford ending an eight-game winless run in the league, Palace were then held at home by Everton in the FA Cup third round before returning from a mid-season break and losing the replay on Merseyside.
