Sheffield United Luton: Blades make announcement about whether game is on

Fans were concerned that the game may have been postponed when Sheffield was hit with heavy snow yesterday.

But in a statement today, United said it is confident the game against the Hatters will go ahead.

United are currently in second in the Championship, seven points clear of third place Middlesborough, with Luton in fifth – 10 points behind Paul Heckingbottom's Blades.

Sheffield United said today: “United's SkyBet Championship fixture with Luton Town is all set to go ahead as planned.

“The snow and ice around Bramall Lane has presented challenges in the 48 hours leading up to the fixture but officials are confident that every effort has been made to ensure the safety of supporters, players and officials.

“Supporters of both the Blades and Hatters are asked to take extra care en-route to and within the stadium, as well as preparing for a cold afternoon at S2.”

The last time the two teams met, last August, the game ended 1-1.
