Sheff Utd v Luton

Sheffield United vs Luton Preview

Sheffield United grabbed a creditable point with a 1-1 draw away from home against high-flying Aston Villa last Friday night as the Chris Wilder revolution continues up in Yorkshire while Luton Town registered what could prove to be a vital 1-0 home win against Newcastle United on Saturday to move The Hatters to within two points of safety in the Premier League table.

Four points in four games is not a bad haul for Sheffield United following the arrival of manager, Chris Wilder, in his second stint at the club considering The Blades had accumulated a meagre five points from their opening 14 matches before former boss Paul Heckingbottom was shown the door.

The Blades had recently posted a valuable 1-0 home win against Brentford which became only a second win of this season for the Yorkshire hosts but they will fancy their chances with home advantage against visitors, Luton Town, prior to this Boxing Day relegation showdown at Bramall Lane.

Goals for both teams may also feature as five of Sheffield United's nine home games have seen both teams hit the back of the net so far this season.

Luton Town produced the perfect response following last week's concerning scenes at Kenilworth Road after captain Tom Lockyer collapsed on the field from a cardiac arrest when The Hatters played host to Newcastle United on Saturday where they registered a vital 1-0 win against The Magpies.

It had been an emotional week for Luton Town but the three points against a high-flying Newcastle United outfit will have been a most welcome early Christmas present for Rob Edwards's side especially as they now trail fourth from bottom side, Nottingham Forest, by just a two-point margin ahead of these Boxing Day fixtures.

However, the visitors haven't fared much better than Sheffield United in terms of picking up league wins so far in this English top flight campaign as The Hatters have only picked up three wins in total to date, two of which have been achieved on home soil at Kenilworth Road.

Luton Town's singular success on the road so far this season came in the shape of a 2-1 win at Goodison Park over Everton towards the end of September but having managed to capture just this one win so far on their travels, the straight win markets look fraught with danger for this upcoming basement clash.

Goals for both sides look promising though as seven of Luton Town's last 10 matches overall have resulted in both teams scoring.

Sheffield United v Luton Town Verdict

Previous exchanges between these two clubs have been quite low-scoring affairs but both sides could score and cancel each other out here, especially as three of the previous five meetings have also ended in stalemate.
