West Ham v Luton

West Ham vs Luton Preview

West Ham suffered another heavy defeat last weekend in the Premier League, this time against a fast-improving Chelsea outfit under Mauricio Pochettino, as The Hammers slipped to a 5-0 loss away from home at Stamford Bridge which also made it three defeats out of their last four games for David Moyes' side, while Luton Town halted a run of three straight defeats by picking up a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Everton last Friday night.

West Ham had previously slumped to defeats at the hands of London clubs Fulham and Crystal Palace respectively and although The Hammers gained a point in a lively 2-2 draw with Liverpool, this means the hosts have managed to pick up just one point from the last 12 on offer.

The bigger picture though is one that concerns many a West Ham fan who have become disgruntled with manager David Moyes as the hosts have managed to capture just one win from their last nine games overall which came in the form of a 2-1 win away from home at Wolves but also includes stumbling to four defeats as well.

West Ham have lost just twice in their last 13 home games though at the London Stadium and the hosts should have enough quality to return to winning ways here.

Luton Town could only muster a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Everton last Friday night at Kenilworth Road but draws are simply not enough at this crucial stage of the season as The Hatters still occupy a place in the bottom three and find themselves three points behind fourth from bottom Nottingham Forest with just two games remaining in the season.

Luton Town's dogged persistence has been admirable in this season's Premier League campaign but has sadly not been enough to lift Rob Edwards' side out of the relegation zone where they have been sat for the majority of the season, while the bigger picture shows Luton Town have registered just one win out of their last 15 games overall.

That rare highlight for The Hatters came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Bournemouth but having also slipped to 10 defeats within these last 15 games, the odds look to be firmly stacked against a great escape for Luton Town as time is running out fast for the visitors.

In addition, Luton Town have now failed to win any of their last nine outings on the road and have lost their last five away games on the trot as well.

West Ham v Luton Town Verdict
