Luton to hold Blades to draw
A look at the league table tells you that Sheffield United have started this campaign far better than their hosts but don't read too much into that at this early stage. Luton started slow but landed their first win of the campaign at the weekend to boost morale. Sheffield United, who are unbeaten in three with two wins and a draw, meanwhile have struggled on the road where they have just one win in seven. Throw in their record at Kenilworth Road, which reads as one win in their last five visits and maybe a draw wouldn't be a bad result for either side.
At least one of these sides will blank
Our next tip for this game is that at least one of the two teams will fail to score. Luton have not seen both teams score in any of their last three games whilst Sheffield United have seen three of their last five games end with at least one side keeping a clean sheet. Again, a look to the head to head record also supports our tip; four of the last five clashes have seen a full time result involving a ‘nil'.

Can Sheffield United continue to top the league?
Sheffield United took four points of Luton last season but that doesn't make this game an easy one. Luton will have been buoyed with their first three points of the season and arrive here as the home side and with a decent head to head record against their visitors.
Luton had gone five games without a win prior to Saturday's game at Swansea. A win in Wales will have been good for confidence though and we know Luton are a decent side once they get momentum on their side. Another positive result here – a draw or a win – would help build some of that.
Luton Town Predicted lineup – Horvath, Potts, Lockyer, Burke, Bree, Bell, Clark, Campbell, Freeman, Adebayo, Muskwe
Sheffield United ended last season in playoff semi-final heartache and based on how they've set off this campaign they want to avoid that lottery this year. 10 points from five games is a very good return; they'll be keen to make it 13 points from six here.
Sheffield United Predicted lineup – Foderingham, Egan, Norrington-Davies, Ahmedhodzic, Basham, Lowe, Fleck, Norwood, Berge, McBurnie, Ndiaye
