On Tuesday night, two Premier League clubs needing a return to form meet at Selhurst Park, as Crystal Palace hosts bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles head into this encounter in poor form, as they have won just one of their last 12 games in all competitions.
That run includes winning just once in their previous ten matches in the Premier League.
Roy Hodgson’s team has suffered back-to-back competitive defeats against Everton and Arsenal.
The poor recent league form has seen them slip to 15th place in the table, five points clear of the relegation zone.
Palace’s recent league form at Selhurst Park has been concerning, as they have won just once in their last eight league games on home soil.
However, that one win came in a 3-1 defeat of Brentford in their last home game in the league, a victory that ended a seven-game winless streak on home soil.
Sheffield United have struggled with life back in the Premier League after winning promotion last season.
The Yorkshire outfit are currently bottom of the English top-flight table, seven points from the safety of 17th place.

The Blades exited the FA Cup with a 5-2 defeat at Brighton last time out. The loss means Sheffield United has won just one of their previous seven games in all competitions.
United is also winless in their last five matches in the English top-flight, having picked up just two draws and suffered three defeats.
Their main issue in the Premier League of late has been conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their previous five league outings.
Forebet predicts that Crystal Palace will end their recent poor form by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
