The Blades have been asked to postpone the game following the recent devastating news of Maddie Cusack’s passing.
“A new date for the match will be announced at a later date.”
The club paid tribute to Cusack ahead of the men’s Premier League match against Newcastle on Sunday, with players wearing shirts bearing her name and number and a minute’s silence observed in her honour.
In a statement, Palace said: “The thoughts and condolences of everyone at the club are with Maddie’s friends, family, teammates and colleagues.”
