Liverpool vs Luton Town Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Liverpool vs Luton Town EPL Prediction

Liverpool and Luton have only met on 39 previous occasions and the Hatters have emerged victorious from just seven of these encounters. Their last win against the Reds came at Kenilworth Road back on February 23rd, 1991, while it should be noted that they’ve never won at Anfield in any competition.

The Hatters will certainly be up against it at the home of the league leaders, who have produced more shot-creating actions per 90 (33.04) and a higher xG value (54.6) than any other side. Klopp’s men have also excelled from a defensive perspective during this campaign, winning a league-high 57.1% of their aerial duels and completing more ball recoveries than anyone else (1,368).

The latter statistics highlight the relentless and physical nature of this current Liverpool team, who are more than capable of matching Luton’s famed intensity out of possession. They’ve also averaged 60.1% possession per 90 in the Premier League this season (compared to just 41.3% for Luton), so are likely to dominate the ball and may well keep the Hatters penned into their defensive third for long periods of the game.

While Diogo Jota is likely to miss out with injury, Liverpool may be boosted by the return of Mo Salah to their starting 11. He produced a goal and an assist from the bench against Brentford last time out, while he now has 24 goals involvements in just 21 EPL appearances this season. So, I expect the Reds to have too much verve and quality for a slightly tired-looking Luton side, who may also be without top scorer Elijah Adebayo at Anfield.

1️⃣ Liverpool Update

Liverpool’s 4-1 thumping of Brentford in West London means that they’ve now won six of their previous seven league games, while scoring 22 times and hitting three or more goals on five separate occasions. The Reds also remain top of the EPL form table over the course of the last 10 matches, winning 23 points from the 30 available to them during this period. Of course, the Reds have also gone 24 league games unbeaten at Anfield, with Leeds United the last team to leave Anfield with three points in October 2022. So, notwithstanding Liverpool’s injury concerns, Luton will have it all to do in midweek!

Diogo Jota was stretchered off at Brentford last time out, while his knee injury is likely to keep him sidelined for a few weeks at least. Fellow striker Darwin Nunez also came off at half-time against the Bees with a knock, but he could yet be passed fit to feature against Luton. Curtis Jones is also being assessed after receiving a blow to his shin, while goalkeeper Alisson (hamstring injury), Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) and Dominik Szoboszlai (thigh) remained sidelined. Thiago (thigh) and young midfielder Stefan Bajcetic (fitness) are out until March, while Joel Matip is a long-term absentee as he continues his recovery from an ACL rupture.

2️⃣ Luton Town Update

Luton currently sit a respectable 13th in the Premier League form table, having accrued 11 points from their previous 10 matches. Interestingly, while they’ve only won once on the road in seven outings since September 30th, they’re unbeaten in three away from Kenilworth Road since a 3-1 defeat at Brentford on December 2nd. They’ve also scored in four consecutive away matches and 12 overall since November 11th, after failing to find the net in three of their first eight EPL games in 2023/24. So, they’ve evolved to become a highly competitive force with a genuine threat in front of goal, and Liverpool will need to be wary in defensive transitions and at set-pieces.

Of course, Luton lacked a little cutting edge at the weekend without Elijah Adebayo, who injured his thigh during the warm-up against Manchester United at Kenilworth Road. He’ll face a late fitness test ahead of the trip to Anfield. Mads Andersen is out until March with a calf injury, while Japanese right back Daiki Hashioka is a significant doubt with a knock. Marvellous Nakamba may not play again this season as he recovers from a knee injury, while club captain Tom Lockyer is facing an uncertain future after suffering a cardiac arrest during the abandoned match against Bournemouth in December.
