Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters upset the Bees on home soil?
Luton Town survived by the skin of their teeth last season, winning on the final day to secure their Championship status. The Hatters will be desperate to avoid another relegation battle this season, and they are going the right way about it after making a solid start.
Luton kicked off their campaign with four league and cup wins in a row, seeing off the likes of Norwich City, Barnsley, Reading and Derby County before losing to Manchester United in the third round of the Carabao Cup. However, they then went on to lose three of their next four in the league.
Luton have responded well, though, picking up four points from their last two. The Hatters are sitting pretty in ninth spot in the Championship table at present, taking a respectable 13 points from eight games. Can the Bedfordshire club pick up another positive result at the weekend?
Brentford Preview – Londoners to leave Luton with a point?
Brentford, who were many people’s favourites for the title before a ball was kicked in the summer, have made a sluggish start to their Championship season. The Bees are going great guns in the Carabao Cup, reaching the last eight, but they have taken just 11 points from a possible 24 in the league.
Thomas Frank’s men won only one of their opening four in the Championship, beating Huddersfield Town, drawing with Millwall and losing to Birmingham City and Preston North End. The Bees won their next two before a poor 3-2 loss at Stoke City last weekend. However, they did pick up a decent draw with in-form Norwich City at the Brentford Community Stadium in midweek.

At Griffin Park last term, Brentford thumped Luton 7-0 in what was arguably the Championship performance of the season. However, the Hatters got revenge at Kenilworth Road in the reverse game, with an own goal and a Martin Cranie effort giving Luton a shock 2-1 win on home soil.
