Luton Town form and stats

Luton Town have collected 26 points from their Championship home games so far after 6-8-4.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Luton, as their goalkeeper Ethan Horvath has completely shut out the opponents for 218 minutes in the Championship.

It's back home for Luton Town, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sheffield United away with the result 1-0. Morris found the net in that victory. The goalie Horvath was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.92 out of ten. Horvath topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Swansea City.

Low on goals? Looking at this team's last 10 league matches, 9 have had two goals or less.

The manager Edwards will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sunderland in only three days.

Luton Town has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. 19 goals have been conceded.
