Key Relegation Battle as Burnley Meet Luton in Premier League
4137

The opening fixture of the weekend in the English Premier League takes place on the 12th of January as Burnley meet Luton Town.

The game will be played at Turf Moor and the hosts are currently 19th in the table on 11 points while the visitors are one place above them on 15 points.

Burnley come into the match having been knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend by Tottenham Hotspur.

The only goal of the game was scored in the 78th minute and Burnley could not force an equaliser in the time that remained.

The defeat at Spurs in the FA Cup means Burnley have won only 1 of their 7 most recent fixtures in all competitions.

The win came at Fulham in the Premier League but there have been defeats at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa plus against Everton and Liverpool at home in the Premier League.

Burnley did manage to pick up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw at Brighton in the league.

Trends show Burnley have won just 3 of their last 20 matches in the Premier League.

They have won only 1 of their last 12 home Premier League fixtures and have lost the other 11 games, which is a dreadful record.

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 3 of Burnley’s 5 most recent home league matches.

Luton Town travel to Turf Moor on the back of a 0-0 draw at home with Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup.

The Hatters were expected to beat the League One club but could not breakdown the visitors defence and have been forced to a replay.

The draw with Bolton Wanderers means Luton Town are undefeated in 3 of their 4 most recent fixtures in all competitions.

There have been wins at home over Newcastle United and away to Sheffield United in the Premier League.

There was also a 3-2 defeat at home against Chelsea in the Premier League.

Trends show Luton Town have won just 2 of their last 14 away matches in all competitions.

They have lost 3 of their last 4 away Premier League games, with the defeats coming at Aston Villa, Manchester United, and Brentford. Luton Town have a dismal away record in the English topflight and they have won only 2 of their last 35 away trips.

Team news: Burnley are without suspended midfielder, Sander Berge. Benson Manuel and Luca Koleosho are injured.

Luton Town are without Issa Kabore who is away on international duty. Tom Lockyer remains unavailable and there are doubts over the fitness of Reece Burke.

This is a huge game in the fight to stay in the Premier League. Burnley have struggled at home but Luton Town have a poor away record, so this could be the chance for Burnley to close the gap on their relegation rivals.

We expect to see under 2.5 goals in this game and for Burnley to come out on top.
