Luton Town vs Sheffield United prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2022-23
Luton Town will host Sheffield United at Kenilworth Road on Friday night in another round of EFL Championship football.
The home side have endured a tough start to their season, going winless in their first four league games. However, they returned to winning ways last time out, beating Swansea City 2-0 via goals from Alan Campbell and Carlton Morris in either half.
Luton Town sit 19th in the league table with just five points from five games. They will be looking to build on their latest result when they play this weekend.
Sheffield United, meanwhile, have bounced back from their 1-0 defeat to Watford on the opening day. They picked up a comfortable 3-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in their last game and could easily have doubled that tally with the number of quality chances they created.
The Blades sit atop the Championship standings with 10 points from an obtainable 15. They will now be targeting maximum points on Friday as they seek to strengthen their grip at the top.
