Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters bounce back from Birmingham defeat?
Nathan Jones is doing a fine job with Luton Town. After keeping the Hatters up on the final day of the 2019-20 season, Jones guided Town to a 12th-place finish last term. The Bedfordshire club will be looking to better that this season.
Luton were not themselves at Birmingham City last weekend, crashing to a heavy 3-0 defeat at St Andrew’s. They were on an impressive four-game unbeaten run before that, winning three and drawing one. Town have been excellent at home in recent months, claiming four victories and drawing two of six in all competitions.
Luton will be hoping to respond from the Birmingham loss, and victory over West Brom on Saturday will take them above the Baggies.
West Bromwich Albion Preview – Will the Baggies end poor run?
West Bromwich Albion have spent practically all season in the top six, but the Midlands club have dropped out of the play-offs after a poor run of late. Albion have picked up just one league win since early December.
The Midlands outfit head to Kenilworth Road having taken a mere point from their past four games. Steve Bruce’s first match in charge ended in a 2-0 loss at Sheffield United. The Baggies then drew 0-0 at home with Blackburn Rovers last Monday.
