The Blades trailed 1-0 to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium before hometown hero Billy Sharp bagged his first ever Premier League goal to split the points.

The 33-year-old striker has scored 228 goals in the Football League but has only been rewarded with three showings in the top flight.

He will be crucial to success for United this season, but Crystal Palace will bring their own homegrown star to the party this weekend.

Wilfried Zaha remains an Eagle after potential suitors fled at the sight of his price tag during the transfer window.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…

Sheffield United fans will be bouncing off the walls at the start of this season, and Bramall Lane will shake at the weekend.

The Blades produced an assured display at Bournemouth to show at very least they won’t be blown away.

Palace will set up in typically steely style, this won’t be a pretty game by any stretch of the imagination.

Zaha remains their key attacking outlet, but if his head isn’t in the game, the home side could be on course for an ear-splitting afternoon.
