Luton Town look to boost their survival hopes against Crystal Palace at Kenilworth Road.
Victory would see Luton stay out of the relegation zone, whilst Palace can go ninth if West Ham and Chelsea both lose elsewhere.

Stat Attack

- Palace have won just one of their last eight visits to Luton (W1, D3, L4).
- Luton have scored twice in each of their last two home games against Palace (W2).
- Luton are yet to score in the first half at home in the league this season, with their four goals all scored after half time.
- Three of Palace’s last five league goals have been scored after half time.
Prediction
Having battled to a narrow defeat away to Manchester United, Luton can be proud of their performance because their defending is resilient, but they need to start converting more of their chances if want to find more goals and boost their survival chances.
Palace meanwhile blew their chances of at least a draw at home to Everton through poor marking of three goals, yet they didn’t play too badly on the attack but were simply frustrated by the Toffees’ defence despite having fought back twice.
That experience though might well stand them in good stead because this could be another similar test but if Palace can cut out their errors, they might get the win here.
Prediction: Luton 1-2 Crystal Palace
Result: Luton 2-1 Crystal Palace
