Luton Town form and stats

Only two Championship home games for Luton Town so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The Luton Town crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-5 to Birmingham City here at Kenilworth Road Stadium in a Championship match. Midfielder James Bree was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.11 (out of ten) in that game. Bree hit two key passes. Luton were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Sheffield United form and stats

The Championship season is young and Sheffield United have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

The supporters enjoyed Sheffield's previous game versus Derby County (placed 14th), a Carabao Cup 2-1 win played at home. Defender Kacper Łopata was the best team player with a rating of 7.64. Łopata hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and won 6 of 7 duels. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager S. Jokanović when Billy Sharp scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Huddersfield Town.

Sheffield United have the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
