Luton Town, Recent FormLuton Town were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Sunderland. They came away from that fixture with 42% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Sunderland managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Manager Nathan Jones will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. 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.
Luton will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 9 home league games.
When it comes to home matches at Kenilworth Road Stadium, Carlton Morris will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Luton Town in their last 6 home games.
Reading, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Reading players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Burnley. They achieved 29% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Burnley's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Paul Ince will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 10 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Results have been poor for Reading recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 6 of their 8 away league games.
The Reading travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Tom Ince, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The 1-0 victory which Luton Town recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
In their last 3 league meetings with Luton, The Royals have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. The Hatters have struggled for goals when Reading comes to visit Kenilworth Road Stadium, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Reading have lost the last 2 times they've faced Luton in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
Reading man Yakou Meïté will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Luton, having bagged 4 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at Kenilworth Road Stadium.
With only Reece Burke (Hamstring) and James Shea (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Nathan Jones will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Reading manager Paul Ince has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Femi Azeez (Hamstring), Scott Dann (Calf), Sam Hutchinson (Hamstring), Liam Moore (Knee) and Naby Sarr (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
