Fulham host Luton Town in a Premier League fixture on Saturday. The Cottagers have a win already this season on and should claim the upper hand over the newly promoted side.
The hosts have endured a difficult start to the campaign and are struggling to replicate last season’s fine showings. They are currently in the bottom half of the table having claimed one win in four matches so far and will be looking to jumpstart their campaign on Saturday.
The Cottagers’ only win this season came on the opening weekend as they picked up a 1-0 victory at Everton. Marco Silva’s men failed to secure another win after that and went into the international break with a 5-1 defeat to champions Manchester City.
It is not all doom and gloom for Fulham as they have picked up a few results that they can build on as the season progresses. They knocked out Tottenham Hotspur from the Carabao Cup while a 2-2 draw at Arsenal will also give them confidence having played much of the second half with 10 men.
Luton Town spent many years wandering the lower rungs of English football and appear to be finding it difficult stepping up to the quality of the Premier League. They have lost all three of their matches this season and are currently second from bottom with no points.
The Hatters travel to Craven Cottage off the back of a 2-1 home defeat to West Ham in their previous Premier League fixture. They were no match for the Hammers’ superior quality and fell two goals down before defender Mads Andersen grabbed a late consolation with their only attempt on target.
While Luton Town have clearly looked lightweight going forward, their major problem appears to be at the back. They have struggled to cope with the superior attacking quality of Premier League teams, conceding 10 goals in just three matches.

Players to watch
