Liverpool welcome Luton Town to Anfield for a midweek Premier League fixture as they look to strengthen their lead at the top of the standings. The Reds have injury problems at the moment but should still have enough to see off their visitors.
Liverpool are coming off a 4-1 victory at Brentford in their previous Premier League fixture. They were untroubled for much of the encounter with goals from Darwin Nunez, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo giving them the win.
The Reds appear to have hit their stride in recent weeks and despite a string of injuries, are unbeaten in their last 14 matches across all competitions. Jurgen Klopp’s men have picked up 10 wins in that run and remain two points clear at the top of the standings.
Anfield remains a fortress for Liverpool, who are yet to taste defeat in front of their fans across all competitions this season. They have picked up some truly one-sided wins in front of their fans, including a 4-1 victory over Chelsea and a 5-1 hammering of West Ham.
Luton Town travel to Liverpool off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Manchester United last time out in the Premier League. Carlton Morris pulled one back early in the first half after going two goals down before the 10th minute but they could not find an equaliser.
That result means Luton Town are now winless in their last three matches, suffering two defeats in that run. They remain in the relegation mix and need a swift upturn in fortunes to ease some of the pressure.
A positive ahead of the trip to Anfield is that Luton Town are unbeaten in their last five away matches across all competitions claiming three wins in that run. However, Rob Edwards’ men have only picked up one win from their last seven Premier League away fixtures.
