Luton v Sheff Utd

Luton Town vs Sheffield United Preview

Luton Town shared the spoils with Newcastle United in a highly entertaining 4-4 draw away from home at St James' Park but this point enabled The Hatters to remain out of the bottom three in the Premier League table, while Sheffield United's winless run in the Premier League was extended to seven games overall after being handed a particularly heavy 5-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa last weekend.

Despite managing to capture just one win from their previous 10 games overall in the English top flight which came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Crystal Palace amongst slipping to seven defeats as well, Rob Edwards' side have since staged something of a recovery which has helped the hosts out of the relegation zone for the time being.

Luton Town have been handed just one defeat from their last six games overall which came in the shape of a 3-2 loss at home to Chelsea but nevertheless, victories chalked up against the likes of Newcastle United, Sheffield United and Brighton respectively have given Luton renewed hope in avoiding the drop come the end of the season.

The hosts have also picked up three wins from their last six home games which will give The Hatters a timely boost ahead of this relegation battle.

Sheffield United find themselves a significant 10 points adrift of their upcoming hosts and safety ahead of this trip to Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon and having been dealt a 5-0 thrashing at home by Aston Villa, the omens do not look good for Chris Wilder's side for this upcoming clash.

Indeed, The Blades have now endured a seven-game stretch without a win in the English top flight and having slipped to five defeats within this period, the visitors look to have a tremendous fight on their hands if they are to save their top flight status this season.

Recent defeats at the hands of Chelsea, Luton Town (at home), Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa have seemingly further condemned the Yorkshire club to likely relegation candidates as the gap between themselves and safety grows ever larger.

Sheffield United have managed to record just two league wins throughout the whole of this season's campaign which have been registered against Wolves and Brentford, but both of these rare victories have been achieved on home soil at Bramall Lane, while the visitors have still yet to gain a single away win so far this term.

Nine defeats within their 11 outings on the road to date suggests Sheffield United look set for further disappointment this Saturday afternoon.
