Luton Town vs Sheffield United
Sheffield United have every single player inside their defensive third as they desperately look to hold onto their lead. Luton are pushing, but they can't quite find a breakthrough. Doughty and Townsend both send crosses into the box, but Wilder's defence deals with it well and the Blades are staying resolute at the back.

Adebayo goes close! Luton send a delivery into the box and there's a scramble inside the penalty area. It eventually finds Adebayo who is unmarked from just a few yards out. He goes to strike it, but Foderingham flings himself in front of the ball and makes the stop, and it goes behind for a corner to the Hatters.
Luton Town vs Sheffield United
As it stands, with Burnley losing away at Liverpool, Sheffield United are now on 13 points, level with the Clarets but behind on goal difference. Luton remain outside of the relegation zone after Everton lost to Manchester City earlier in the day. Wilder's side will need to hold on now though, with Luton pushing to get back into the game!

Doughty should do better! Lokonga feeds the ball out wide to Chong who spots the run of Doughty, who has burst beyond the Sheffield United defence. He plays an inch-perfect throughball into his path and the Luton defender latches onto it. He fires the ball across goal, but he gets underneath it and sends it flying out for a throw-in on the other side of the pitch.

Doughty makes a foul on Lowe and the Sheffield United defender is down. The medical team are on the pitch giving him treatment, and he looks in a lot of pain. Wilder might be considering taking him off as he's been down on the turf for a few minutes now.
Luton Town vs Sheffield United
Close to an equaliser! Luton take a quick throw and Morris receives the ball with his back to goal. He turns and drives towards the box before unleashing from range with his left. It's heading towards the bottom corner, but Foderingham gets down low to make a save and tips it behind for a corner to the Hatters. Edwards' men are continuing to push!
Luton Town vs Sheffield United
Sheffield United will now have a chance from a free-kick and it's whipped into the penalty area, but Adebayo can head it clear. It falls to Osborn near the byline who looks to take on Lokonga, but the Luton midfielder brings him down and it's another free-kick for the Blades. Davies delivers, but Adebayo rises highest and heads away once again.
