Newcastle United

Expectations were high for Newcastle to have a successful season, but Eddie Howe's team was hit by a real injury epidemic. This led to a series of four defeats in the Premier League, dropping them into the middle of the table and seriously risking missing out on European competitions. They managed to slightly improve the situation earlier this week when they defeated Aston Villa 3-1 away. Fabian Schar scored a brace for Newcastle, and defender Alex Moreno added another goal. Last weekend, the Magpies secured a place in the FA Cup Round of 16, facing no problems against Fulham with a 2-0 victory.

Luton Town

In contrast to Newcastle, no one expected anything from the modest Luton. Everyone understood the level of Rob Edwards' team and its capabilities. Nevertheless, the Hatters managed to earn points in matches where it was not predicted, and at the moment, they are in 17th place, with a one-point lead over the relegation zone. Earlier this week, Luton, for example, dismantled the strong Brighton at home, scoring four unanswered goals. Before that, there were two away victories in the FA Cup against Bolton (2-1) and Everton (2-1). Overall, Luton has been unbeaten in five matches in all competitions, securing three victories.
