Luton Town vs Manchester City: Match preview, team news and prediction

Luton Town, currently struggling at the bottom end of the table, have shown resilience, especially at home. They recently pushed Arsenal to the brink, indicating their capability to challenge even the strongest teams

Manchester City, on the other hand, are in a challenging phase. Despite their impressive record, including a treble last season, they have been winless in their last four matches, which is their worst run without a win since April 2017

Manchester City's lineup could see the return of influential midfielder Rodri, who has been pivotal in their unbeaten streak in the last 43 games he has played. Erling Haaland, with his remarkable goal-scoring record, will be a key player to watch

Luton Town, though dealing with a few injuries, will hope their players rise to the occasion against a formidable opponent

The historical head-to-head record between these two sides leans in favor of Manchester City, with 20 wins compared to Luton's 14, and 15 matches ending in draws

Neither team has any player suspended, but Luton Town has a few players with injuries that could affect their team selection

Luton Town may adopt a defensive approach, aiming to exploit any opportunities on the counter-attack. Manchester City, known for their possession-based, attacking style under Pep Guardiola, will look to dominate and create scoring opportunities

Given Manchester City's recent form and Luton Town's position in the league, a win for Manchester City is the more likely outcome. However, Luton's recent performances suggest they could put up a strong fight
