At the start of the 33rd round, Manchester City is in third place in the league table, trailing the leading duo of Arsenal and Liverpool by just one point. In their last two matches, the Citizens have not faltered, defeating Aston Villa (4-1) and Crystal Palace (4-2). It’s worth noting that they conceded goals in both of these matches. During the week, Pep Guardiola’s team had a tough match in the Champions League against Real Madrid away from home. The exciting game ended in a 3-3 draw, setting up a return leg in Manchester. Clearly, rotation will be necessary today. Due to injuries, defenders Kyle Walker and Nathan Ake will miss the upcoming game.
Luton Town is fighting hard to avoid relegation, and every point is crucial for them right now. Their schedule has been tough, having faced formidable opponents like Tottenham (1-2) and Arsenal (0-2) in succession. Despite putting up a good fight against London representatives, it didn’t earn them any points. In their last match, they managed to secure a victory against Bournemouth (2-1) at home. With 25 points, Luton Town is currently in 18th place in the relegation zone, but they are only behind Nottingham Forest on additional indicators. It’s worth noting that Rob Edwards’ team has failed to score a single goal in five of their last matches. However, they’ve had defensive issues, as they haven’t kept a clean sheet since January. Luton Town still has a lot of squad problems. Due to injuries, forwards Yakubu Brown, Chedozie Ogbene, and Elijah Adebayo, defenders Gabriel Osho, Amari Bell, Tom Lockyer, and Mads Andersen, as well as midfielders Albert Sambi Lokonga and Marvelous Nakamba, will miss today’s match. Defender Issa Kabore will also miss the game due to the terms of his loan agreement.
