Luton Town Preview – Can Hatters win back to back?
Luton Town finally got themselves off the mark in the Championship last time out with a 2-0 win away at Swansea City last weekend after failing to win any of their opening four games of the new second tier season.
Luton appeared to be suffering from the hang-over from last season’s play-off defeat to Huddersfield Town as they drew with Birmingham City and Burnley, followed by defeats to Preston NE and Bristol City, but last week’s win will give The Hatters a timely boost ahead of Friday night’s clash with Sheffield United.
Sheffield United Preview – Can Blades cut out win?
Despite an opening day 1-0 defeat away from home at Watford, Sheffield United have since staged a fightback under manager, Paul Heckingbottom, as The Blades have won three out of their four subsequent matches in the second tier.
Wins against Millwall, Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers have helped lift Sheffield United to the top of the early Championship standings but it should be noted that all three victories were gained on home soil at Bramall Lane while on the road, The Blades have won just one of their last 10 outings.
