Luton Town form and stats

Last season their FA Cup adventure ended in the 5th round.

As the visiting team in Championship matches, Luton Town have produced an overall stat of 7-2-4 so far.

Luton Town might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. West Bromwich Albion proved too strong as Luton Town slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Kenilworth Road Stadium. A huge disappointment for Luton Town in their last match (vs West Bromwich Albion). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Attacker Morris got a player rating of 7.35 in the game. "Man of the match" Morris scored one goal.

One game before, 1-1 at home hosting Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup.
