Sheffield eye clinching the top spot with a win over the Bedfordshire outfit.

Matchweek 33 of the EFL Championship fixtures takes us to the Kenilworth Road Stadium where Luton Town are set to host Sheffield United.

Luton Town are reeling from a disappointing defeat in their most recent encounter against Sunderland AFC. Once regarded as strong contenders for direct promotion to the Premier League, they now find themselves languishing at the bottom of the EFL Championship table—a scenario they could have scarcely imagined just a year ago when they were competing in the top flight.

As they prepare to host Sheffield United, the Hatters will be desperate to capitalize on their home advantage and reignite their campaign. With their pride at stake, they will be looking to deliver a resilient performance and reverse their fortunes in a bid to restore respectability to their season.

Second-placed Sheffield United have a golden opportunity to seize all three points against Luton Town and claim the top spot, leapfrogging Leeds United. Having won the most matches in the competition so far, the Blades have established themselves as one of the most dominant forces in the EFL Championship.

Boasting one of the highest goal tallies in the league, Sheffield United will be eager to assert their supremacy and continue their relentless pursuit of promotion. With momentum on their side, they will settle for nothing less than a commanding victory against a struggling Luton Town side.

A former England U19 international, Morris showcased his goal-scoring prowess early on, finding the net twice in just three appearances.
