Luton Town Preview – Will the Hatters claim a first win in four?
Luton Town have had a fine season so far. The Hatters have started with six wins, six defeats and seven draws from their opening 19. Along the way, Nathan Jones’ boys have scored 26 and conceded 24. They are on 25 points, six away from sixth.
Since a 3-1 home victory over Middlesbrough on 2nd November, Luton are without a win in three. They suffered disappointing back-to-back defeats to Stoke City and Queens Park Rangers but battled to a draw at the City Ground in midweek.
The goalless stalemate at Nottingham Forest was a step in the right direction for Luton. Can the Bedfordshire side build on that and secure a home victory on Saturday?
Cardiff City Preview – Can the Bluebirds return to Wales with a positive result?
Cardiff City have had a frustrating season to say the least. However, there has been an improvement since Steve Morison took over from the sacked Mick McCarthy, who lost eight games in a row at the end of his tenure in South Wales.
After five matches in charge, Morison has won two, lost two and drawn one. The Bluebirds recently picked up back-to-back wins over Huddersfield Town and Preston North End. However, they were brough back down to earth by Hull City in midweek, losing 1-0 at the Cardiff City Stadium.
