Preview: Luton Town vs. Manchester United - Team news and prediction
Manchester United visits Kenilworth Road and Luton Town this Sunday afternoon.
Important match for both teams this Sunday afternoon, as Luton tries to secure crucial points in the relegation battle, while Manchester United needs 3 points in the pursuit of top 4 and Champions League spots. After an otherwise good period with 3 wins and a draw in all competitions, Luton lost important points last time in the relegation battle, where they suffered a 3-1 defeat at home against Sheffield United.
Out of the blue, Manchester United has found form, being undefeated in the last six games across all competitions, and they have even won the last four, reigniting their goal-scoring, which has otherwise been a significant problem. They have initiated a pursuit of Tottenham, who are 6 points ahead of United, so if they want to reach the top 4, they need three points against Luton.
The first encounter between the two this season saw United emerge victorious with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford in an otherwise closely contested match.
Team news:
Luton doesn't have any injuries, so they can choose freely from all available players when selecting the starting eleven.
Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Anthony Martial, and Tyrell Malacia are definitely out of the match, while there is significant doubt about Luke Shaw and Bissaka.
Luton expected lineup:
Kaminski, Burke, Osho, Bell, Ogbene, Doughty; Lokonga, Barkley, Clark, Morris, Adebayo.
United expected lineup:
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Lindelöf, Mainoo, Casemiro, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund, Rashford.
Prediction:
Predicting a Manchester United victory in this match, they are in good form, and confidence is high, particularly among the offensive players who have started scoring goals consistently. Luton is expected to come out with high energy, making for an open game at times, and as a result, we anticipate a high-scoring affair. Our suggestion is a Manchester United win + over 2.5 goals in the match, with odds at 2.50 with Betway.
