English Premier League: At 23 o'clock on the evening of December 26, Beijing time, Sheffield's league match against Luton Town will usher in the 19th round. Sheffield United, as a willed and high-spirited promotion horse, is no longer the dominant force in the Premier League in the past. They have won just two games since the start of the season and sit bottom of the Premier League table, five points clear of the relegation zone, and have a bleak and breathtaking future. As the founding team of the Premier League, they were not satisfactory after relegation.
Although they have had the experience of transcendence in recent years, they are always short-lived and beautiful. During the summer window, the team traded excellent veterans Ndiaye and Sander Berg, and brought in Villa striker Archer, Coventry City main midfielder Amer and Brazilian youngster Sousa in hopes of better depth in midfield and front. They were with the original squad system, thinking they could continue last season's particularly strong performances, but with a perfect reinforcement on three lines, they started to decline, maybe the squad is still in the run-in period, maybe the team can't keep up with the intensity of the Premier League, but obviously McBoney and Archer and Amell have problems working together with a few of the mid-field stars, the technique is no longer refined, the feeling of control, and the previous speed advantage, is no more.
It is worth mentioning that although Sheffield United have a poor away record, they not only forced Brighton to draw but also Aston Villa in the final round, but more often than not, defeat, the strength and form of the team really can't keep them more consistent in the Premier League. They host old rivals Luton Town, who are also promoted horses. Can they score?
Luton, nicknamed the 'Hat Sellers' by the visitors' intelligence, is based in the east of England. Although it was still early, most of the early years were dominated by low-level league competition, and after relegation from the Championship, results plummeted. With the team's financial crisis for many years, they never had a good chance to show their quality. In recent seasons, Luton's form has been inconsistent and they have not been able to buy enough players to expand their strength, so the ceiling has been limited. Coupled with the frequent changes of coaches at the top, they eventually took root in the Champions League in a steep turn. But back in the Premier League, they obviously can't adapt to the overall strength of the Premier League, and the results are not satisfactory. After taking over the team, head coach Rob Edwards mainly attacked the 3-5-2 and 3-1-4-2 attacking formations, which were distinctive and ferocious.
If there is a goal, it is likely to happen in the first half, which is a pretty good start. But equally, Luton Town decisively picked up the old problems they left behind, especially in the second half. Moreover, the team's ability to fight against the wind is not very optimistic, and the resilience is average, and it tends to fade after making great progress. But there's no denying that Luton's game does give fans a lot of enjoyment. They often end with a big ball, and their ups and downs have left fans with memorrhages. Among them, the team's star Carlton Morris has scored three goals and two assists this season, and the team has a total of 13 goals, and the overall firepower is balanced. In this game, they will be interviewing Sheffield United's 'vice-squad leader' as to whether Luton Town can win comfortably
Whether sheffield united, Luton Town or Burnley, this season's Premier League has not been particularly friendly to the three promoted players. The importance of this game as a "six-point battle" for relegation is self-evident. Sheffield United not only continued to struggle at the end of the league this season, but were also beaten 5-0 by Burnley, who were also relegated.
He had to resign from coach Paul Darkmbolton at the beginning of the month and move to Wilder to continue coaching. After parting ways, Paul also bombarded the team's main players after promotion to solve the financial urgency, let's focus on Buendia, who left the team. He and McBoneghne, the tacit Gemini star, eventually had to separate, and the whole midfield seemed to have some fighting power, but in fact it was a paper tiger, and the whole defense was in vain. Luton, who returned to the top league after 31 years, flicked his fingers and staged "Pheasant into Phoenix".
The team has not been signed throughout the summer window. Giles, Tahith Chung, Andersen and others are at best leftovers of their respective teams, so in fact, Luton's entire squad is only in line with the championship sequence, and there is still a long way to go to complete the relegation goal this season. It is worth mentioning that Sheffield United are currently suffering from a wave of injuries, including several defenders within the main defender Hodjic, striker Brewster and midfielder Davies are also sick, which is bad news for them, and the two teams have also struggled to solve the problem in the last two seasons of the Champions League, and the same frequency of exponential pressure on Luton, which is not good news for the home team. In view of this, I am more inclined to Luton Town in this game and look forward to them to keep the draw and win and come out of the way.
Conclusion: Sheffield Union handicap (-1) loss.
