Prediction: 2-1
Luton
Following a 2-2 draw with Preston, Sheffield United will look to return to winning ways when they face Luton Town at their Bramall Lane. The Blades are nine points behind the playoffs berth, but they have no fewer than three games in hand. Sheffield United are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Morgan Gibbs-White, George Baldock, John Fleck, and Jack O’Connell are out of contention with injuries, while January signing Adlene Guedioura is a major doubt.
The Hatters, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Bournemouth and Reading. In their last meeting at Bramall Lane Sheffield United rolled over Luton Town 4-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself. Admiral Muskwe is on Africa Cup of Nations, while fellow forward Harry Cornick misses out with injury.

Oliver Norwood is a Reading midfielder who began his youth career at Manchester United. Norwood made his debut for the reserve team against Middlesbrough in November, 2007, but he did not get a chance to play for the first team.
