Luton v Tottenham

Luton vs Spurs Preview

The Saturday lunchtime kick-off in this Saturday's Premier League fixture features this upcoming battle at Kenilworth Road between hosts, Luton Town, and their north London visitors, Tottenham, with both teams keen to pick up the three points in order to boost their respective positions in the English top flight table.

For Luton Town, another three points would be most welcome as The Hatters have managed to capture just the one win to date in this new Premier League campaign which came in the form of a slightly unexpected but nevertheless important 2-1 win away from home at Goodison Park against fellow strugglers, Everton.

However, five defeats within their opening seven games upon their long-awaited return to the English top flight has resulted in Luton Town sitting just above the relegation zone with only a 1-1 draw at home with lowly Wolves to show for their troubles so far on home soil at Molineux.

Vital emergency refurbishments needed at their Kenilworth Road ground meant that Luton had to play their first two games of this new term away from home but since they've returned, The Hatters have suffered defeats to West Ham and Burnley, both by 2-1 margins.

Tottenham manager, Ange Postecoglou, could not have wished for a better start to his tenure at the north London club as the Australian coach has guided Spurs to a lofty second place in the Premier League standings and just a point behind the current title-holders, Manchester City.

Having registered what could prove to be a pivotal 2-1 home win over Liverpool last weekend along with Manchester City unexpectedly faltering 2-1 away at Wolves, Tottenham know they have a great opportunity to lift themselves to the top of the Premier League table with a win in Saturday lunchtime's clash at Kenilworth Road.

Tottenham along with north London rivals, Arsenal, remain the only two sides yet to taste defeat in this season's campaign and with five wins already collected within their opening seven games of this new season, Spurs look well set to add to their points tally on Saturday.

Wins on the road at Bournemouth 2-0 and Burnley 5-2 along with entertaining, high-scoring 2-2 draws at Brentford and Arsenal also underline the very likely prospect of further goals being scored at Kenilworth Road as Tottenham have been involved in no fewer than 17 goals in their four away games to date.
