Luton Town play host to Sheffield United at Kenilworth Road in round 33 of EFL Championship on Saturday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results, with the Blades claiming a comfortable home win over Middlesbrough.
Luton Town, meanwhile, continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday.
The Hatters have now gone 10 consecutive games without a win across all competitions, losing eight and claiming two draws since Boxing Day.
This poor run of results has seen Luton Town plunge to the bottom of the Championship standings with 27 points from 31 games, two points away from safety.
