Before their Championship match on Saturday afternoon, the writers of The72 make their prediction between Sheffield United and Luton Town.
On Saturday afternoon, Sheffield United will play Luton Town in an attempt to continue their perfect record since returning to the Championship.
Sheffield United has started the season off strong, having only lost three times in their first eight games and having not experienced loss.
The Blades, led by Chris Wilder, have kept five straight clean sheets and, but for their two-point deduction, would have been tied for first place in the table. Though they are now in third place, it appears that the South Yorkshire team is prepared for an immediate return to the top division. Their most recent game was a midweek 1-0 triumph against Swansea City. Josh Tymon’s own goal right before halftime was sufficient to seal the victory, and enthusiasm for Saturday’s matchup is sure to be high.
Luton Town, on the other hand, was demoted to the second division together with Sheffield United from the Premier League the previous season, and they have had significant difficulties ever since. Now ranked twentyth in the standings, the Hatters have only won twice this season and lost their most recent game, a 2-2 tie with Oxford United, at home, after leading by two goals earlier. The team led by Rob Edwards was anticipated to contend this year, just as they did the previous two, but if they are to live up to expectations, they must make significant progress from their early-season performances. Here are some of our writers’ predictions for the match…

After making significant summer hiring in order to be ready for another shot at promotion from the Championship, Sheffield United appears to be a formidable force to be reckoned with this season. “Defensively sound and capable in front of goal, it is evident that the Blades want to go back to the top division as soon as possible.
The same cannot be said about Luton Town at this stage. They have quality, but they haven’t really taken off, so this weekend’s journey to Bramall Lane might be extremely difficult.
