&w=707&quality=100)
- Luton are rooted to the bottom of the Championship table after 31 games
- Sheffield United are second in the table, two points behind leaders Leeds
- Recommended bet: Sheffield United to win
Sheffield United will look to maintain their promotion charge when they travel to Kenilworth Road to take on Luton on Saturday in the Championship.
The two teams are experiencing contrasting campaigns, with Luton bottom of the Championship after 31 games.
Matt Bloomfield has yet to win a game since replacing Rob Edwards in the dugout, while Sheffield United are second in the table and only two points behind leaders Leeds United.
Team News
Bloomfield remains without a host of first-team regulars, with Reece Burke, Shandon Baptiste, Teden Mengi and Tahith Chong all still sidelined.
Tom Lockyer and Alfie Doughty also missed Wednesday's 2-0 defeat to Sunderland and are not expected to return until the end of the month at the earliest.
Blades midfielder Tom Davies is nearing a return from a leg injury, but this game may come too soon for him, while Oliver Arblaster, Kieffer Moore, Jamie Shackleton and Femi Seriki are all still in the treatment room.
The stats
Sheffield United have the second-best away record in the Championship, with Chris Wilder's side picking up 31 points in 16 games.
The Blades have only lost three times all season on the road.
Luton are winless in 10 games in all competitions, with their last win coming just before Christmas.
The Hatters have failed to score in three consecutive matches at home.

Prediction
Luton had hoped to challenge for promotion after their relegation from the Premier League, but they have been unable to string results together and the future looks bleak for the Hatters.
Bloomfield's appointment has yet to spark a response from the Luton squad, and the last thing they need is a visit from Sheffield United.
The Blades have won six and lost one of their last seven games in the second tier and they should have too much class for their hosts.
Wilder's side ran out 2-0 winners in the last meeting between the pair in October and a similar scoreline is likely.
Luton's recent inability to score at home is the worst preparation for the visit of the Blades, and Wilder's side have what it takes to record a routine win as they look to put some pressure on Daniel Farke's Leeds.
