Luton Town, Recent FormLuton Town will not be too troubled by their 2-1 home defeat against Manchester City, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. During that encounter they had 35% possession and had 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 18 shots on goal.
Rob Edwards, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games overall.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table. They have certainly suffered from some poor form this season, having lost 11 matches from 16 in the league.
Newcastle United, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Newcastle United managed a remarkable 3-0 home win against Fulham. They came away from that fixture with a 71% share of the possession and clocked up 27 attempts on goal with 10 on target, in comparison to Fulham, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Eddie Howe will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
On an individual basis, Callum Wilson will be looking to cause Luton Town some problems having scored 4 goals in Newcastle United's last 6 away games in the league.
Newcastle United will have been disappointed not to take all 3 points in their last league match against Luton Town with the game ending in a 0-0 draw.
The Magpies have managed to keep a clean sheet against Luton in each of their previous 2 meetings.
