Team news and form guide

Liverpool: Looking to extend their great run of form

Thanks to winning six of their last seven Premier League games, Liverpool have managed to stay ahead of Man City and Arsenal in the title race, albeit just by one and two points, respectively. Ahead of their duel with Luton, Liverpool is without injured Stefan Bajcetic, Joel Matip, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ben Doak, Thiago Alcantara, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Diogo Jota, and, most likely, Darwin Nunez. Also, Alisson Becker, one of the top candidates for Premier League Golden Glove, will miss his third consecutive game in the league.

Luton: Falling behind in the standings

Ahead of the season, many saw Luton Town returning to Championship promptly, but that's currently far from evident. Yes, Luton have just one win in their last six games in the league and sit in the relegation zone, but they're also tied with Everton, the first team outside of it. Meanwhile,  Mads Andersen, Marvelous Nakamba, Tom Lockyer, Jacob Brown, and Luton's top scorer this season Elijah Adebayo are out with injuries.

Other tips

Mohamed Salah to score at any time

  • The Egyptian is currently second among Premier Leagues top scorers with 15 goals this season.
  • With 152 goals in 239 appearances for Liverpool, Salah scores an average of 0.64 goals per game.

Over 3.5 total goals

Player to watch: Mohamed Salah

We already backed the Egyptian to score a goal in this game, so we're going with him as our player to watch. After all, Salah did very well in his first match back in the team after AFCON, with a goal and an assist against Burnley over the weekend.

Penalty for Salah incoming?

This season in Premier League, Mohamed Salah scored 15 goals, with four of them coming from the penalty spot. That's around 27% of his goals, so backing him to score from a penalty against Luton might be worth taking a punt.
