Aiming to secure their first Premier League points this season, Luton Town is set to face fellow struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers at Kenilworth Road on Saturday.
After falling to a 1-0 loss against Fulham in their recent match, the Hatters are eager to turn their luck around.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, failed to maintain a 1-0 lead and suffered a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool.
Match Preview
Luton Town has had little to celebrate since their historic Premier League promotion, managing to scrape past Gillingham in the second round of the EFL Cup.
The 2023-24 season has been challenging, with defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion, West Ham United, and Chelsea.
The international break provided a much-needed period of recuperation for Luton and Rob Edwards, their manager.
Although Fulham managed to break their resistance in the previous match, Luton Town remains optimistic about their upcoming encounter with Wolves.
Wolves, currently struggling, capitalized on Liverpool’s defensive crisis in their last match.
However, their defense needs improvement as they’ve conceded a significant number of goals this season.
Team News
Luton Town is dealing with some absences, including Dan Potts, Jordan Clark, and Gabriel Osho.
However, they might see the return of Ross Barkley for the match against Wolves.
Albert Sambi Lokonga is expected to hold the fort in midfield alongside Marvelous Nakamba.
On the other side, Wolves are hopeful that their injured players, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Mario Lemina, will recover in time for the game.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is likely to start after an impressive performance in the last match.
