Sheffield United have lost just one of their last seven league games against Luton (W3 D3), though it was at Bramall Lane in the most recent meeting in March last season (0-1).
Luton beat Sheffield United 1-0 away from home in the Championship last season – they’ve never won back-to-back league visits to Bramall Lane before.
Luton have won 11 of their last 14 away league games against Yorkshire sides (D1 L2), keeping a clean sheet in nine of those victories. However, as a top-flight side they’ve not won in Yorkshire since November 1987 (2-0 v Sheffield Wednesday).
Sheffield United’s last Boxing Day victory in the top-flight came against Luton Town in 1990, a 1-0 win at Kenilworth Road. Since then they’re winless in six such matches (D2 L4), failing to score on five occasions.
Luton Town have won three of their last five league games on Boxing Day (D1 L1), having been winless in seven such matches in the Football League before this (D4 L3).
There have been 10 previous Boxing Day games between two promoted sides in English top-flight history, with the home side remaining unbeaten in all 10 (W6 D4). The most recent such clash was a 1-0 win for Aston Villa against Norwich City in 2019-20.
This will be Sheffield United’s 100th league game on Boxing Day since the Football League was formed, with only Manchester United (53), Aston Villa (46) and West Bromwich Albion (45) winning more such games than the Blades (44).
Sheffield United beat Brentford 1-0 in their last home league game. They last won consecutive Premier League home games in July 2020 (a run of four), with the last two games in that run the last time they did so without conceding.
Carlton Morris scored both of Luton’s goals against Sheffield United in the Championship last season, netting home and away against the Blades. The only team he’s scored in three consecutive appearances against in his English league career are Blackburn Rovers, doing so between 2021 and 2022.
Sheffield United’s Oli McBurnie has been directly involved in four goals in his last five home league games (3 goals, 1 assist), scoring in his last two at Bramall Lane. He last scored in three consecutive home league appearances in April 2019 while at Swansea.
