Luton Town will play Burnley at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday, still on a high after their first-ever Premier League triumph.
With their first-ever Premier League victory over the weekend, Luton Town added to Everton’s woes. By the 31st minute of the game, goals from Carlton Morris and Tom Lockyer had given Luton a 2-0 advantage.
Only 10 minutes later, Dominic Calvert-Lewin was able to restore parity, but it was the only reaction Everton could generate, as they suffered their fifth defeat of the year. The victory was a fantastic way for Luton to recover from their unexpected EFL Cup elimination at the hands of Exeter City in midweek.
After dropping their first four consecutive games in the league, Rob Edward’s team has gone undefeated in their past two games. When they play the Clarets at home on Tuesday, they’ll want to pick up the pace of their progress.
In the Championship, Burnley defeated Luton Town 1-0 at Kenilworth Road in February of this year. As they now lie in 19th place in the Premier League standings after six games, Vincent Kompany and his team would really appreciate a repetition of the same.
Burnley has yet to record a league victory in the current campaign. Burnley lost to Newcastle United 2-0 on Saturday after defeating Salford City 4-0 in the EFL Cup midweek. Only four goals have been scored this season by Kompany’s team, who have been very inept moving forward. They have conceded 15 goals in the meanwhile, and if they want to stay in the Premier League beyond the current campaign, they really need to turn things around immediately.
