Nathan Jones' side will hit the road once again as they prepare to face Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.

On the back of wins against AFC Bournemouth and Reading this week, it's a chance to secure nine points from a possible nine against a tough Sheffield United side.

Sheffield United are currently one place and two points below the Hatters heading into the match having drawn their last game against Preston North End, conceding a late equaliser at Deepdale.

Billy Sharp has been their man goal-threat once again this season, with eight goals and six assist to his name thus far.

 

Last time we met:

The two sides played out a goalless draw at Kenilworth Road in August 2021, the first meeting between the teams since 2006.

Highlights from that fixture can be found on our YouTube channel below…
