Sheffield United could hatch Nottingham Forest plan as shock prediction made

Bournemouth striker Kieffer Moore believes Luton Town have what it takes to stun their play-off rivals and seal a remarkable promotion to the Premier League.

The Championship play-offs get under way on Friday night when the Hatters host Huddersfield at Kenilworth Road in the first leg of their showdown.

Luton are the rank outsiders to win promotion to the top flight with Steve Cooper's Forest side highly fancied to return to the Premier League since they were relegated in 1999.

But despite the odds being stacked against the Hatters, Bournemouth forward Moors believes Nathan Jones' side could take everybody by surprise.

Sheffield United's players could be treated to an inspirational video ahead of their clash against Nottingham Forest this weekend as they prepare for the first leg of their play-off showdown.

The Blades host the Reds at Bramall Lane in what is a mouthwatering contest as they look to chase the dream of promotion to the Premier League.

And Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom has not ruled out taking a leaf out of Real Madrid's book after Carlo Ancelotti showed his galaxy of stars a motivational film ahead of their thrilling Champions League win over Manchester City.

Heckingbottom says he has used the tactic before at United this season and will not be afraid to do it again if it can give his side the edge.

Heckingbottom told The Star : “Pictures can often illustrate something a lot more clearly and powerfully than words. So if it’s relevant to what we are saying or trying to do, then we definitely do it. We’ve done things like this quite a lot in the past and it’s something we’ll readily do again in the future.”
