Luton Town and Leicester City come into this match in clearly different moods. The hosts had just thrashed their opponents 4-1 at home in the league before stumbling to a 1-2 defeat, then returning to winning ways with a 2-1 victory in their latest match. The visitors, meanwhile, had just beaten Leicester City 4-0 in their last league game, following a 2-1 win over another opponent, so Leicester City's form over the last two matches looks slightly hotter. Both, however, sit in the mid-table group separated by just one point. Luton Town play fairly well at home, with attacking moves that offer a variety of threats, but their defence still has spells where they let opponents into dangerous areas, especially early in the first half, when they concede a high proportion of their goals. Leicester City dominate possession more and clearly create more shots on target over their last ten matches, but their away defence is not especially tight either, particularly late in games when they tend to concede. This game should be open from the start, as both teams need three points to move up the table. Leicester City are likely to have more possession and try to pin Luton Town back, but if the hosts use their home advantage to attack from the off, the game could turn into a trade of blows where goals can come at any time. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how high Leicester City set their defensive line, because if they let the hosts attack first, the game could flow in a different direction.
