Sheffield United go into this game with a cloud of doom hanging over them. They are 15 points from safety with 12 games to go in the league. They have lost their last four matches in a row and thing are not looking to improve anytime soon.

We say: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1 Crystal Palace

Three of the last five Premier League meetings between these two sides have finished 1-1, while there have not been more than two goals in this fixture since March 2019, so it is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair. A point would not be the worst result for either team, and we have had to settle on a stalemate here.
