End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
Palace are safe with all three points thanks to goals from Benteke and Eze either side of the 90 minutes.
A very professional performance against a very uninspiring Sheffield United side who have it all to do in the Championship next season if they want to play in the top flight again.
90+1'
Sheffield United refuse to go down without a fight and are still hunting a goal. Any goal.
But as things stand they're heading for the 28th defeat of the season and remain stuck on just 18 goals for the campaign.
88'
GOAL! SHEFF UTD 0 PALACE 2 ( Eze)
He has his goal!
It's another deflection but Palace won't care. He runs all the way and finally gets the shot away which is a tame shot that bounces off Fleck and hits the net.

87'
Milivojevic hoiks a corner into the box and Ramsdale is there to make yet another save.
Big fantasy points for that man in saves alone.
85'
Palace have had 19 attempts on goal today. Their most in a game this season.
Fair play. Where are all the goals then?
83'
Ramsdale the hero again as he dives to deny Ayew this time! How has Ayew not scored today???
81'
Zaha weaves his way into the box this time but it won't open up for him as Bryan comes in and makes the clearing tackle.
It's Bryan's final act as 2019/2020 fantasy legend Lundstram comes on for the final 10.
78'
WHAT A MISS?
Ayew has an open goal with his first touch but whacks it at Enda Stevens on the line. Dear me.
76'
Ayew is on for Palace now! Can he get the second?
75'
Back and forth, back and forth. Lots of long punts now as two sides with little left to play for this season see out the final 15 minutes of a dead rubber.
Benteke, for what it's worth, has looked very lively for Palace today. Feels like a throwback. Where's he been for the last three years?
73'
Zaha, who hasn't had much to do in this match, finally gets a few touches in the Blades box but they've looked a sturdy backline in the second half.
71'
Baldock does brilliant down the right to get a ball in for Jebbison who cannot get over the ball for a header.
Sheffield United pressing now.
67'
CLOSE!
Basham thwacks the sidenetting after another Blades corner! Getting closer.
66'
17-year old Jebbison is on for Burke.
Time for a hero?
65'
Eze fluffs his lines this time. It's brilliant footwork but the final pass is off as he takes one too many touches.
The ball is glued to his feet until he decides to release it.
62'
Great block. Bryan gets ahead of Benteke before the Belgian can pull the trigger.
Once again some great work from Eze enabled that whole attack.
59'
The Blades make a change as Osborn is on for Berge.

POST!
Benteke nabs the ball off Fleck and sprints into the box before whacking an effort onto the post.
58'
Basham catches Eze with a boot and the midfielder is down with a scream.
Looks okay to continue. Some subs being prepared now.
55'
Benteke gets his head on it at the other end but this one is over the bar!
