Aston Villa vs Luton Town

, KO: 14:00 Oct 29, 2023, Villa Park
Luton Town

Aston Villa will be looking to maintain their good form as they host Luton Town in a Premier League fixture on Sunday. The Villans have been particularly brutal in recent weeks and should ease to a comfortable victory over Luton, who are struggling this season.

Aston Villa have reasons to be pleased with their start to the season as they are impressing both domestically and in Europe. Having secured a Europa Conference League place last season, Villa appear to have their sights on a higher finish this term as they sit just four points behind Premier League leaders Tottenham Hotspur.

The Villans were rampant last time out in the Premier League as they claimed a 4-1 victory over West Ham with Douglas Luiz netting a brace. It was a similar display in Thursday’s Europa Conference League clash at AZ Alkmaar as they once again picked up a 4-1 victory.

Results like those appear commonplace for Aston Villa, who can also count a 6-1 victory over Brighton among their results at Villa Park. However, Unai Emery’s men seem to always concede the odd goal as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches across all competitions.

In stark contrast to Aston Villa’s high-flying this season, Luton Town have struggled to step up to the quality required in the topflight. They are just one point above the relegation zone having picked up only one Premier League win so far.

Luton Town showed some fight last time out in the Premier League as they came back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest. Having trailed for much of the encounter, Chiedozie Ogbene pulled one back with seven minutes left to play before Elijah Adebayo struck the winner deep into injury time.

That result highlights a surprising aspect of Luton Town’s recent form as they appear to do their best work on their travels. Robert Edwards' men picked up a 2-1 win over Everton in their previous fixture on the road.
