Luton vs West Ham Lineups & Last Match

Luton

Luton made the trip to Chelsea last Friday where they were outplayed for the majority of the 90-minutes. Raheem Sterling ran the show, scoring two goals and creating the third in a man-of-the-match display. The Hatters face another tough game against another London club this weekend and look set to be without Potts, Clark and Osho all of whom have injuries.

Predicted Lineup – Kaminski (GK), Lockyer, Bell, Burke, Kaboré, Barkley, Nakamba, Chong, Giles, Morris & Adebayo

West Ham

The Hammers followed up their impressive win at home to Chelsea with an even more impressive victory away at Brighton last time out. Ward-Prowse scored his first goal for the club and second-half efforts from Bowen and Antonio saw Moyes' men run out comfortable 3-1 winners in the end. New signing Mavropanos isn't expected to feature this weekend due to a lower back injury and he could be joined on the sidelines by Soucek, while Aguerd returns following a one-match suspension.

Predicted Lineup – Areola (GK), Ogbonna, Coufal, Zouma, Emerson, Ward-Prowse, Souček, Paquetá, Álvarez, Antonio & Bowen

Player to Watch: James Ward-Prowse

Former Southampton stalwart, James Ward-Prowse has made an instant impact in East London, setting up two goals and scoring one in his opening two starts.

We're expecting another big performance from the England midfielder as West Ham look to make it 10pts from a possible 12 this weekend against Newly-promoted Luton.

Ward-Prowse is deadly from set-pieces and if Luton give any cheap free-kicks away or needless corners, then we fully expect Ward-Prowse to make the hosts pay dearly.
