Luton Town will host Gillingham in the EFL Cup Round 2 at Kenilworth Road on Wednesday. Luton is playing in the Premier League for the first time. However, the Hatters have found it difficult to face the big guns and artillery of top clubs. Luton lost both its games in the competition so far this season. The Hatters were thrashed 4-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening weekend. Followed by that, was a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea on the following matchday. Now in their first cup game as a top-flight side, Rob Edwards’ team will be looking to pick up their first win of the 2023-24 campaign. However, it won’t be easy against an in-form Gillingham side.
On the other hand, the Gills began their Football League Two campaign with four consecutive victories. However, Colchester United threw a dent in their run last weekend. Gillingham succumbed to their first league defeat of the season. As a result of this, the Gills ceded the top spot on the table to MK Dons. In the first round of the Carabao Cup, though, Neil Harris’ side caused a big upset by beating Championship side Southampton 3-1 at home. Let us see who has the final laugh on Wednesday.
Luton Town’s probable starting lineup
Kaminski, Giles, Bell, Lockyer, Burke, Kabore, Barkley, Nakamba, Chong, Morris, Adebayo
Gillingham’s probable starting lineup
Turner, Alexander, Ehmer, Ogie, Mahoney, Dieng, Clarke, Nichols, Williams, Malone, Nadesan
