2024-25 Sky Bet Championship: Week 13 – Friday

Luton Town host West Bromwich Albion at Kenilworth Road in a Championship clash. 

Victory would see Luton climb out of the relegation zone and as high as 16th with a win.

West Brom meanwhile can go fourth with a win.

 

Team News

Tom Holmes is suspended for Luton following his red card in their 3-2 loss at Coventry last weekend.

Alfie Doughty too is banned after he collected his fifth booking in the defeat.

Reece Burke (groin), Amari’i Bell (hamstring), Reuell Walters (foot),Teden Mengi (knock) and Mads Andersen (leg) remain absent.

West Brom could be without defenders, Semi Ajayi (leg) and Paddy McNair (hamstring) after the pair were substituted in the goalless draw against Cardiff last weekend.

Kyle Bartley (knee) and Daryl Dike (Achilles) remain sidelined.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Luton host West Brom at Kenilworth Road on Friday 1 November at 8pm GMT, live on Sky Sports in the UK.

 

Stat Attack

 

Prediction

Having looked more like their strong clinical attacking selves in the first-half at Coventry, Luton’s second-half defending was just disappointing especially when they knew how dangerous Coventry can be.

West Brom are winless in six games but they’ve done a solid job of grinding out draws in their last four games, which could be key come end of season but this is a chance for a rare win if can target Luton’s decimated defence.

In fact, I do seriously expect them to do that and come away with the win because Luton’s back-line feels like a sitting duck, so it’s a question of how defensive do they go and how patient are West Brom before striking.

Prediction: Luton 0-2 WBA

Result: Luton 1-1 WBA
