The late game in the Premier League this weekend takes place at Kenilworth Road, as Aston Villa and Luton clash in a huge fixture with ramifications at both ends of the league standings.
It has been a sensational campaign to this point for Aston Villa, and their push for a Champions League position has shown no sign of slowing down in recent weeks. The West Midlands giants come into this round of matches sitting fourth in the standings after winning each of their last two fixtures since suffering a home defeat against Man United.
Results have gone in their favour in recent weeks, meaning that they have been allowed to open up a five-point advantage in the race for fourth. Villa were impressive once again in their most recent league outing, as they landed a comfortable 4-2 home success against Nottingham Forest. Douglas Luiz netted a brace in that success, while further efforts were added by Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey.
The pressure continues to increase on Luton Town at this stage of the season, as they have dropped back into the bottom three positions after suffering defeats in each of their last three matches. The Hatters are now four points adrift from safety coming into this weekend, and there will be extra significance on their home matches between now and the end of the season.
Luton put in a strong showing in their previous fixture in the competition, but they ultimately surrendered a 1-0 advantage away from home against Liverpool. Three of their five victories this term have been picked up in home matches, while they have allowed seven fewer goals in their fixtures played at Kenilworth Road so far this term.
This will only be the third meeting between these sides since 2016. Villa landed a comfortable 3-1 win in the reverse fixture between these sides this term, but it could be a more challenging assignment away from home.
There will be pressure on both of these teams this weekend, as a victory for either could be huge for their aspirations this term. However, Villa’s return to form could be damning for the Hatters, as we could see them struggling defensively on Saturday. Therefore, the preference is for Unai Emery’s side.
