Sheffield United v Luton Town: Quickfire goals from Brewster and Robinson put Blades in command
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Blades haven’t played at home since the end of November when they beat Bristol City in Paul Heckingbottom’s first game in permanent charge.
His men will look to bounce back from their disappointment in midweek, when Preston came from 2-0 down with 10 men to snatch a point at Deepdale.

Blades v Luton Town LIVE
Appeals for a penalty
as Brewster goes down in the box, but the referee waves them away - fair call for me, in real time it looked like it would have been soft
AND ANOTHER ONE!
2-0 TO THE BLADES and it’s a towering headr from Jack Robinson that finds the back of the net - Norwood’s free-kick finds Robinson in the middle and he makes no mistake to double the Blades’ lead just moments after they went ahead!
GOAAAL BLADES
AND it’s Brewster who gets it, controlling a mishit shot from Bogle and firing home in front of the Kop - sending it wild and the Blades lead
That’s half time
and the whistle brings a pretty flat first 45 minutes to a close - not the welcome home that United would have been hoping for after so long away. Brewster had probably their best chances when he forced a save from Shea on the angle and hit the sidenetting with another, but Jerome made Foderingham work down low at the other end and Luton had the ball in the net, only to see it ruled out for offside. United will hope to lift their intensity levels after the break - there were the odd flashes of it but they’ll need to show that more consistently
Ndiaye’s shot
is blocked for another corner as United build some momentum just before half-time - Hourihane takes it and it’s recycled in the middle for Brewster to head, but he can’t get the power and it’s held easily by Shea
Good run from Sharp
sees him turn his marker at the side of the Luton box and advance, he looks to pick out Brewster in the middle but Bradley is there to deflect it behind for a Blades corner... Hourihane takes it and it’s cleared to Bogle, who scuffs his shot completely and Luton clear
Luton have the ball in the net
but the flag goes up for offside moments after Bradley heads a free-kick past Foderingham and into the net - a let off for the Blades but replays suggest it was the right call
Break in play
as Kioso goes down and takes some treatment - he’s back on now and in the meantime Sharp and Norrington-Davies link up for an attack that’s repelled by the Luton defence
