Man City v Luton

Manchester City vs Luton Preview

Manchester City thumped four goals past a second side on the trot in the Premier League last weekend when The Citizens recorded a comprehensive 4-2 victory over Crystal Palace away from home at Selhurst Park to maintain their challenge for this season's Premier League title, while Luton Town handed themselves what could prove to be a vital lifeline in their bid to escape the drop by beating Bournemouth 2-1 at Kenilworth Road which has lifted The Hatters level on points with fourth from bottom side Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City's recent win against The Eagles also extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to an impressive 16 matches overall, a sequence that includes no fewer than 12 wins collected along the way and Pep Guardiola's side are hitting form at just the right time and ready to pounce on any slip-ups by Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester City, along with Liverpool, remain one of only two clubs yet to taste defeat on home soil in this season's Premier League campaign and the hosts are expected to assert their authority upon this upcoming clash on Saturday despite being up against a spirited Luton Town outfit.

The hosts are unbeaten in each of their last 27 home games at the Etihad Stadium.

Luton Town refuse to lay down and die in their struggle against possible relegation from the Premier League as The Hatters once again showed their resilient character by inflicting a 2-1 home win against Bournemouth at Kenilworth Road to send them level on points with Nottingham Forest and possible safety.

Luton Town have battled against adversity throughout the whole of this season's campaign not least when club captain Tom Lockyer collapsed on the field earlier in the term and although the visitors have registered just one win from their last 11 games overall, Rob Edwards' side have given their all in each and every game to date.

However, a vast gulf in quality is expected to unfold this Saturday when Manchester City's star-studded side play host to Luton Town's shoestring squad and the hosts have the added incentive of perhaps claiming top spot in the Premier League table with a win here at the Etihad Stadium.

Luton Town have collected just two wins on their travels throughout this season which were registered at Everton and Sheffield United but The Hatters face a mountain to climb against a Manchester City outfit looking to claim another league title.

Manchester City v Luton Town Verdict

Manchester City have won five of the last seven meetings against Luton Town and it's interesting to note that three of these five victories also saw the hosts keep a clean sheet and this trend looks set to continue here on Saturday afternoon.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.70
