In the last round, the team put up a strong fight away against Aston Villa, even equalizing the score with a man down, but eventually lost 2-3, conceding in the 89th minute. Recently, the club exited the FA Cup, losing to Tottenham 0-1 away. Five players will be unavailable for their teammates due to injuries.
Luton
The Hatters are also battling for survival, currently sitting in 18th place, one point behind the safety of the 17th spot with a game in hand. In the last round, Luton nearly staged a comeback at home against Chelsea, trailing 0-3 but ultimately losing 2-3. The team shows glimpses of solid play, but consistency is needed to stay in the elite league. Luton also has five player absences due to injuries ahead of this encounter.
