Man Utd v Luton

Manchester United vs Luton Preview

Manchester United left it late to grab all three points against a spirited Fulham at Craven Cottage side last weekend but a moment of rare inspiration during this clash saw United captain, Bruno Fernandes, drill home the winner in stoppage time to send the visiting fans home happy while Luton Town were unlucky not to pick up all three points in a 1-1 draw at home with high-flying Liverpool at Kenilworth Road.

Manchester United escaped with an undeserved victory in the nation's capital but manager Erik ten Hag won't be losing any sleep as he urges his side to record back-to-back wins in the Premier League for what would be only the second time this season, assuming they can do the job against Luton Town.

Overall results so far this season have been decidedly inconsistent and disappointing where Manchester United have been concerned as the hosts currently occupy eighth place in the Premier League table following six wins but also slipping to five defeats as well.

Although the Red Devils look almost certain to take the three points against Luton Town, ten Hag's side have lost the most games out of all the clubs sitting in the top half of the division, so the goals market looks the best bet here.

Luton Town look to be facing another tough challenge this Saturday afternoon as they attempt to keep Manchester United quiet at Old Trafford and this is only further emphasised by the fact that The Hatters have failed to win any of their last five matches in the Premier League.

Indeed, Luton Town have managed to muster just the single win to date in this new top flight campaign which came in the form of a welcome 2-1 win away from home at Everton but the visitors have had little else to cheer about upon their long-awaited return to the English top flight.

Rob Edwards' side have been dealt no fewer than seven defeats already this season which includes losses incurred at Brighton 4-1, Chelsea 3-0, Fulham 1-0 and Aston Villa 3-0 respectively, so the prospects are not looking good for Luton's trip to Old Trafford on Saturday.

The goals market seems the more prudent option here as eight of Luton's 11 games so far this term have resulted in both teams scoring while the visitors have also failed to keep a single clean sheet as well.

Manchester United v Luton Town Verdict

Seven of Luton Town's 11 league games this season have also produced three goals or more and given their inability to keep clean sheets so far, the Over 2.5 goals looks the safer option for the main bet with increased value when adding in a Manchester United win on top.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.95

Other side bets worth considering:

Manchester Utd win & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.87

Correct Score: Manchester Utd 2-1 @ 9.50
