Two sides battling at opposite ends of the Premier League standings will do battle on Sunday afternoon, with relegation evasion and Champions League qualification on the table.
Luton Town find themselves one point clear of the drop zone as they prepare to host Manchester United, who have climbed to within five points of fifth place.
We have assessed all the key stats and trends ahead of Sunday’s showdown at Kenilworth Road, so stay tuned to find out what Forebet’s predictive analytics model expects.
Let’s start by looking at the hosts, Luton, who suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat to relegation rivals Sheffield United last weekend.
Before that loss, the Hatters had enjoyed a strong six-game run of three wins, two draws and one defeat, but their weaknesses were exposed by the Blades.
Luton have now lost 13 of their 23 matches since gaining promotion to the Premier League, picking up just five wins along the way.
It is also worth noting that Luton have seen both teams score in 17 of their 23 league games this season (74%), so we will likely see goals at both ends on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa last time out, with
Scott McTominay coming off the bench to score an 86th-minute winner.
Not only have the Red Devils won each of their last three Premier League games, but they have also won five of their previous six outings across all competitions.
Erik ten Hag’s men have also upped their game on the road in recent times, notching four consecutive away victories after previously struggling on their travels.
Having netted over 1.5 goals in each of their past six matches across all competitions, Man Utd look set to score multiple goals on Sunday.
Head-to-head: Manchester United won the reverse fixture 1-0 in November, with Victor Lindelof scoring the only goal of the game at Old Trafford.
The Hatters’ last victory over United came in the old Division One back in 1987. Since then, the Red Devils have picked up 10 wins and two draws in this fixture.
Team news: Luton Town are currently without Tom Lockyer, Marvelous Nakamba and Mads Andersen, while Daiki Hashioka is a doubt for Sunday’s showdown.
As for Manchester United, their injury list features Lisandro Martinez, Anthony Martial, Tyrell Malacia, Mason Mount and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Although Luton have given high-profile teams a run for their money at Kenilworth Road this season, they will likely struggle to halt United’s winning run.
Forebet’s AI algorithm predicts that Manchester United will secure a fourth straight Premier League victory at the expense of Luton Town.
