Crystal Palace will be looking to snap out of a rough patch as they travel to Luton Town for a Premier League fixture on Saturday. Palace have done some good work on their recent travels and should have the upper hand over the newly promoted side, who are still struggling to adapt to the topflight.
It has been a difficult return to top flight football for Luton Town, who have claimed just one Premier League win all season. The good news is that they are now just outside the relegation zone following Everton’s 10 point deduction for financial breaches.
Luton Town went into the international break off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United in their previous Premier League fixture. They set out to frustrate the Red Devils but could not find a way back into the contest after falling behind in the second half.
While Luton Town are still winless at Kenilworth Road, they have shown some spirited performances in front of their fans this season. One of such performances came in their previous home fixture as they held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw.
Crystal Palace are not as bad as Luton Town, although they have looked slightly out of sorts in recent weeks. They have dropped to 13th on the standings after claiming just one win from their last five Premier League matches.
The Eagles travel to Kenilworth Road off the back of a 3-2 home defeat last tome out in the Premier League. They fought back to level twice through Eberechi Eze and Odsonne Edouard but went on to concede the winner four minutes from time.
While things have undoubtedly been difficult for Crystal Palace lately, they have surprisingly done some of their best work on their travels. They have claimed two wins in their last three away matches with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United among their results in that run.
