A run of two wins and three draws in recent weeks has seen Luton climb into the top 10 in the table. Nathan Jones’ side have kept three clean sheets in their last four games. Prior to the goalless draw against West Brom, the Hatter played out a thrilling 3-3 draw against Huddersfield on October 4. Elijah Adebayo’s brace and Jordan Clark’s lone goal on the stroke of half-time helped the Hatters earn a point. Meanwhile, their home form hasn’t been great, having only beaten Blackburn Rovers in their seven home matches this season. Jones will be hoping that their second win on home turf arrives on Saturday.
QPR, on the other hand, didn’t have a great start to their Championship campaign, collecting just five points from their first five games. However, 13 points from a possible 15 in recent weeks has seen the Hoops move up to third in the table, with Michael Beale’s side conceding just two goals during the unbeaten period. Last time out, Andy Carroll put Reading ahead on the half-hour mark, before Lyndon Dykes equalised three minutes later. The game looked set to end level, but Dykes’ second goal of the game, from the penalty spot, six minutes from time, helped the R’s secure their seventh league-win of the campaign.
