Why you should back Burnley
The Clarets are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Luton Town across all competitions, recording three victories and three draws. They have been strong defensively in the matchups, giving up a total of only four goals and posting three clean sheets. Burnley have netted just four goals over their first six games this season, but forward Lyle Foster has been a factor in three of them despite appearing in only four of the team's contests.
The 23-year-old scored Burnley's first two goals of the campaign and notched an assist on their fourth, a tally by midfielder Zeki Amdouni in the club's draw against Nottingham. Foster missed the Clarets' last three games across all competitions, including two in the EPL, due to a suspension but will be back on the pitch on Tuesday. Burnley's other goal in 2023-24 has come from midfielder Josh Brownhill, who registered a career-high seven for the club last season. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back Luton Town
The Hatters appear to have recovered from a disastrous start to the season during which they were outscored 10-2 while losing their first four games. Luton Town ended the slide on Sept. 23 by battling Wolves to a 1-1 draw and followed by beating Everton on the road seven days later. Striker Carlton Morris has played a major role in the team's turnaround as he scored the tying goal against Wolves and what proved to be the winner versus Everton.
The 27-year-old Morris also netted the Hatters' first Premier League goal, converting a penalty in the 81st minute of the season opener against Brighton & Hove Albion. He is coming off a 2022-23 campaign - his first with Luton - in which he set a career high with 20 goals and six assists. Morris has one assist thus far this season, while defenders Tom Lockyer and Mads Juel Andersen have recorded a goal apiece. See which team to pick here.
