Luton Town, Recent FormNathan Jones will have some work to do building up his players after their 4-0 away thrashing at the hands of Watford. They came away from that fixture with 41% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Watford managed 13 attempts on goal, with 8 on target.
It's fair to say that Jones will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 8 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. It's clear that with only 1 clean sheet from the last 6 matches at home, he will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 4 draws in 8 home league games.
On an individual basis, Carlton Morris will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Kenilworth Road Stadium having scored 5 goals in Luton Town's last 6 home games in the league.
Sunderland, Recent FormThe Sunderland players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Burnley recently, that ended in a 4-2 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Burnley, who had 9 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Ross Stewart will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sunderland.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Black Cats will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Luton. The Sunderland defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Hatters in the league, with Sunderland conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Luton have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sunderland. Sunderland have a good attacking record away to The Hatters in the league, having scored a total of 8 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.67 goals per game.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Sunderland may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 7 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
Luton manager Nathan Jones has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Reece Burke (Hamstring), Gabe Osho (Knock) and James Shea (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ballard (Broken foot), Leon Dajaku (Stomach), Lynden Gooch (Foot), Ellis Simms (Toe) and Ross Stewart (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
