Luton Town vs Sheffield United
Sheffield United look to counter-attack as Bogle drives forward, evading the challenges of multiple Luton players, but Bell is eventually there to prevent any danger. The Blades regain possession and look to sustain pressure, but once again the Hatters get back in numbers to crowd out the opposition and win the ball back. Wilder's side are sitting deep and hoping to hit Luton in transition.

Luton are looking to get the ball into the penalty area at every opportunity, producing seven crosses since the game got under way. The Hatters have only managed two shots so far, but are yet to test Foderingham between the sticks so far. Edwards' side have dominated the possession, keeping 65.2 per cent of the ball.

Osborn brings Barkley down from behind and Luton are awarded a free-kick, not too far outside of the Sheffield United penalty area. Barkley has his hands on his hips as he readies himself and he floats it to the back post. Adebayo is there to head it back into the middle, but the Blades are able to clear away from danger. It eventually falls to Clark just outside the box, but his shot is deflected behind for a corner.

Lokonga sends a superb crossfield ball to Ogbene who collects on the right-hand side of the attack. He plays it back towards Barkley who twists and turns before spotting the run of Adebayo beyond the Sheffield United defence. He sends a searching throughball towards the Luton striker, but it's a little too heavy and it goes straight into the hands of Foderingham.

Morris and Doughty link up well on the left-hand side and the latter gets to the byline before attempting to deliver into the box. He drives it into the danger zone, but Foderingham comes out to collect. The Hatters are getting plenty of joy out wide in the early stages of the game, and Sheffield United need to tighten up at the back.

The Hatters are continuing to pressure the opposition goal and they now have a corner. Doughty will take it over on the right-hand side and he sends an inswinging delivery towards the front post, but Hamer can head it clear.

Luton will have another chance to fill the box from a free-kick after Lowe upended Ogbene. Barkley is standing over it and he's going to send it into the penalty area. It's whipped into the middle, but Souza is able to head it clear. Luton take a quick throw-in as they keep men forward, but it comes to nothing and Sheffield United force them back towards their own goal.
