Luton find themselves outside of the relegation by virtue of Nottingham Forest’s point deduction, and need a win to put some more breathing room between them and the drop zone. Tottenham, however, will be looking to get back to the race for Champions League football after the international break.

The Hatters have performed far better in attack than their league placement would suggest. In 29 games, Luton have scored 42 goals, an average of 1.45 goals a game. Defensively, however, The Hatters have struggled. Luton have conceded 60 goals and have kept just two clean sheets.
