Burnley vs Luton Town live preview Premier League
Burnley, despite a valiant effort against Aston Villa and a commendable performance against Tottenham in the FA Cup, succumbed to a 78th-minute wonder goal, marking their third consecutive defeat. Vincent Kompany acknowledged the team's improvement but faces the challenge of staying below the relegation line, currently in 19th place. Burnley's recent struggles at Turf Moor include back-to-back 2-0 losses to Everton and Liverpool, and they risk matching an unwanted record of losing 10 of their first 11 home games in a single season.
Luton Town:
In contrast, Luton Town's FA Cup journey faced disappointment as they were held to a draw against Bolton Wanderers. Despite dominating possession and attempting 18 shots, Luton couldn't break through, setting up a replay. Luton aims to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone with a win this weekend, having secured back-to-back victories over Newcastle United and Sheffield United but falling short in a five-goal thriller against Chelsea. While only one point separates them from 17th-placed Everton, Luton faces the challenge of securing their first Premier League away clean sheet and breaking a winless streak against Burnley in their recent encounters at Turf Moor since 1995.
Analysis:
Burnley faces new injury concerns following the FA Cup defeat to Tottenham, with Lyle Foster suffering an ankle problem and Charlie Taylor dealing with a chronic shoulder issue. Vincent Kompany remains optimistic about Foster's condition but may have to rely on Connor Roberts or Ameen Al-Dakhil as deputies for Taylor this weekend. Long-term absentee Luca Koleosho is ruled out, but Hjalmar Ekdal and Jordan Beyer could recover in time for the crucial match against Luton, where Sander Berge returns from suspension. Luton's Issa Kabore is unavailable due to Africa Cup of Nations duties, and captain Tom Lockyer continues his recovery from a cardiac arrest. Marvelous Nakamba, Reece Burke, and Dan Potts are unlikely to feature, and while Carlton Morris may be available after a calf concern, Jacob Brown and Andros Townsend could see recalls for the Luton side.
