It is a relegation six-pointer on Boxing Day as Sheffield United welcome Luton Town to Bramall Lane for an English Premier League one-on-one clash, with kickoff slated for 15:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Sheffield United are tooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with just eight points in 17 matches this season. They have won twice and drawn twice, losing 13 matches in the process.
Their challenges are further underscored by the fact that they have scored just 12 times in 17 matches while conceding 43 in the process – the highest concessions in the league.
Having the worst defensive record in the league highlights the scale of what they need to do to avoid the drop this season. They will welcome fellow relegation strugglers, who are just a point better off, on Tuesday for a one-on-one clash.
In recent matches, Luton Town have shown significant fighting spirit in their battling home losses to Manchester City and Arsenal. They will hope that they can turn these performances into badly needed points.
