Luton Town will be back in front of their home fans at Kenilworth Road on Saturday, as they look to respond following defeat against Burnley in midweek. In-form Tottenham could move to the top of the standings with victory this weekend.
Premier League Preview
The pressure will be back on Luton this weekend after they failed to capitalise on a first win of the season in their previous match. Luton would have been confident of a second straight win when they hosted Burnley, but they fell to a 2-1 defeat against their fellow newcomers to the Premier League this term.
That defeat leaves the Hatters sitting 17th in the standings, and they could drop back into the bottom three before their rivals take to the field this weekend if they lose by a two-goal margin. Luton have a poor record against London opposition in the league, as they have won just once in their previous ten attempts at Kenilworth Road. Their only win was a 3-1 success over QPR in the Championship last term.
Tottenham have made a memorable start to the new season, and they could move to the top of the Premier League standings if they are able to pick up maximum points this weekend. Spurs are unbeaten in their previous eight matches in the competition, which is the longest unbeaten sequence of any side in the Premier League.
Tottenham have already landed victories over Sheffield United and Burnley this term, meaning that they have won 12 of their last 14 against newly promoted opposition. They also haven’t lost to a side making their Premier League debut since suffering a 3-1 defeat against Blackpool in the 2010-11 season.
Luton vs Tottenham Head to Head
This is the first meeting between the sides since a 0-0 draw was played out at Kenilworth Road in March 1992. Spurs are unbeaten in their last nine league fixtures against the Hatters, winning five occasions over that period. Luton’s most recent win against Spurs was a 2-0 success in North London in November 1987.
Luton vs Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham hold all the cards ahead of this fixture in the Premier League on Saturday. Spurs come into the match in red-hot form, and they have an excellent record against newly promoted opposition. Therefore, the most likely result is a win for Tottenham.
