The Premier League match between Luton Town and Aston Villa will take place at Kenilworth Road on Saturday at 11:00 pm IST.
After suffering a big defeat in the FA Cup against Manchester City, Luton Town now focus on the Premier League as they host Aston Villa at Kenilworth Road. Luton lost 6-2 to Manchester City in their last match, but before that, they won 4-2 against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Luton Town had a tough time against Manchester City in the FA Cup, with Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne playing exceptionally well. Haaland scored five goals, helped by De Bruyne’s assists, while Mateo Kovacic also scored for City. Jordan Clark scored two goals for Luton, but it wasn’t enough as they lost. This defeat added to their recent struggles, with Luton losing their last four games. In the Premier League, they’re in 18th place, just below safety. Despite scoring goals consistently, Luton’s defense has been weak, conceding 19 goals in their last five games. They need to improve defensively to avoid relegation.
Aston Villa hasn’t been great defensively lately, conceding goals in their last four games, including against Nottingham Forest. Despite this, they managed to win their last home game with goals from Douglas Luiz, Ollie Watkins, and Leon Bailey. They’re currently ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in the race for the Champions League spot. While they struggled at home earlier this year, they’ve been undefeated in away games in 2024, conceding only one goal in five matches. Aston Villa previously beat Luton Town 3-1 at home but hasn’t won at Luton’s ground since 1989, losing their last three matches there.
Luton Town probable starting lineup: Kaminski, Osho, Mengi, Burke, Ogbene, Barkley, Clark, Doughty, Chong, Morris, Woodrow
Aston Villa probable starting lineup: Martinez, Cash, Torres, Lenglet, Moreno, Bailey, Luiz, McGinn, Ramsey, Tielemans, Watkins
