[Football- England 'Premier League'] 18.2/ 17:30 Luton- Manchester United

Luton town host in-form Manchester United who are looking to take advantage of City and Spurs dropping points and to remain unbeaten in 2024. While Luton have a game in hand over Everton, relegation possibility still lingers.

United come off a thrilling away win against Villa last week. (Villla have only lost twice at home this season) A win for United will keep them in contention for a Champions League spot next season.

Luton Town are coming off a disappointing 3-1 home loss to rock bottom Sheffield United, but still managing to score in their 11th consecutive match. Manager Rob Edwards has built Luton to a resilient and adapting squad since taking over in 2022. In their last 7 premier league matches, Luton has managed an average of 15.1 shots and 5.9 on target, quite the improvement from the first 16 matches. (10.3 & 2.6 average)

We can’t discredit Luton this season but Manchester United are hungry for every win possible after a slow start to the season. Luton have lost 9 of their last 10 matches against Manchester United and this dates quite far back in history. Instead we can account for Ten Hag winning 9 of 9 premier league matches against newly promoted teams. A win here will have him join Mourinho (15) and Mancini (12) with 10 straight wins against newly promoted squads. Given Utd and Luton’s season form, the bookies have been quite generous with juicing this up to +200. They’re really underestimating the resilience United has shown recently; Only City and Arsenal have more away wins than United this season. Prediction is edging towards 3-1, late goal to seal the deal. LFG
