Luton Town vs Sheffield United Prediction

Luton Town did well last season, and have won two of their first four league games. Manager Nathan Jones is in his second still as boss of the club, and the Welshman will be keen to replicate the performances of last season.

Sheffield United, on the other hand, have been abysmal so far. They have lost three of their four league games, and the Blades, who were regarded as promotion contenders before the season began, are already playing catchup. Manager Slavisa Jokanovic is an experienced Championship boss, but he could soon come under pressure.

Sheffield United should register their first win here.

Prediction: Luton Town 0-2 Sheffield United
