Luton preview: Without a win in ten
Luton made the trip to the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night hoping to end their nine-game winless run across all competitions.
However, and early goal for Sunderland pretty much ended any hopes of a Luton victory and in the second half, the Black Cats added a second to wrap up a comfortable 2-0 victory.
Reece Burke, Tom Lockyer, Shandon Baptiste, Teden Mengi and Tahith Chong are all expected to miss the Sheff Utd game this weekend due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Kaminski (GK), Andersen, McGuinness, Walters, Johnson, Clark, Aasgaard, Nelson, Fanne, Morris & Alli

Sheff Utd preview: Three wins on the spin
The Blades made it three wins on the run when they played host to Middlesbrough on Wednesday night.
Crystal Palace loanee Jesurun Rak-Sakyi opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark but Middlesbrough got back onto level terms just before the halftime whistle. Ben Brereton Diaz restored the home side's lead in the 75th minute and a late goal from defender Anel Ahmedhodzic confirmed all three points for Sheff Utd.
Ollie Arblaster, Jamie Shackleton, Tom Davies and Kieffer Moore make up the main injury concerns for the Blades ahead of their trip to Kenilworth Road this weekend.
Predicted lineup: Cooper (GK), Robinson, Ahmedhodzic, Clarke, Burrows, O'Hare, Hamer, Souza, Rak-Sakyi, Peck & Cannon

Player to watch – Gustavo Hamer
Gustavo Hamer has been one of Sheffield United's most consistent players so far this season and the Dutchman is our player to watch on Saturday.
The former Coventry midfielder top scores for Sheff Utd this season with seven Championship goals and the 27-year-old also leads the way creatively with five assists.
Hamer has been key to the Blades' promotion push
We're backing Hamer to put in another commanding performance this weekend, one that will help guide the Blades to all three points at Kenilworth Road.
