Liverpool will be aiming for their fifth consecutive win across all competitions when they face Luton Town in the Premier League on Sunday. In their previous match, Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 2-1 in the EFL Cup, while Luton suffered a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.
Luton face a tough challenge against Liverpool, who have won their last four matches. Luton’s form in October was not impressive, with only one point gained from their last four fixtures. They have also suffered home defeats to Burnley and Tottenham Hotspur. If they fail to keep Liverpool‘s attackers at bay, they will make history by becoming the first Premier League team since Leicester City in 1994 to concede in each of their first 11 games in the competition.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have been in great form recently. They have won their last four matches and have scored at least twice in each of their last six matches. However, they have been beaten in their last two meetings with newly-promoted Premier League teams on the road. The last time Liverpool faced Luton in a competitive match was in January 2008, where they won 5-0 in the FA Cup.
Luton will be without several players due to injury, including Mads Andersen, Daniel Potts, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Reece Burke. Jordan Clark and Amari’i Bell will also need assessment before the match. Liverpool will be missing Luis Diaz, who is dealing with a family situation in Colombia. They will also be without Stefan Bajcetic, Thiago Alcantara, Andrew Robertson, and Ben Doak.
Despite Luton’s strong defensive record at home, Liverpool are expected to come out on top in this match. Luton will benefit from a longer recovery period but Liverpool‘s well-rested first-teamers are likely to secure a victory. A 2-0 win for Liverpool is the predicted result.
Data analysis from Sporita.com also predicts an away win for Liverpool in this match.
