Luton vs West Ham Preview: Teams News, Possible Line-ups And Prediction

Luton vs West Ham Preview: West Ham Will be hoping to continue with their good form by taking all three points against Luton

While West Ham have secured seven out of the possible nine points, Luton Town is still in search of their first point. However, under Rob Edwards’s guidance, they managed to outplay Gillingham in the EFL Cup recently.

Team News:

To strengthen their lineup this summer, Luton Town has added several players to their roster. These include Ross Barkley from Nice, Marvelous Nakamba from Aston Villa, Ryan Giles from Wolverhampton, and Issa Kabore, who’s on loan from Manchester City.

Edwards is anticipated to deploy a 5-3-2 strategy, with an aim to neutralize West Ham’s attacking prowess. The midfield will likely see Tahith Chong teaming up with Barkley and Nakamba, while up front, Elijah Adebayo will pair with Carlton Morris, who had an impressive 20-goal tally in the Championship last season.

On the West Ham side, Konstantinos Mavropanos’s debut remains on hold due to a back injury, and Tomas Soucek’s participation on Friday is uncertain after an early exit in their last match.

With Nayef Aguerd back from his one-game suspension, he’s expected to fortify the Hammers’ defense alongside Emerson, Kurt Zouma, and Vladimir Coufal. Alphonse Areola, after a commendable performance against Brighton, will remain as the goalkeeper.

On the offensive end, Michail Antonio, who’s been on a scoring streak, will spearhead the attack in a probable 4-1-4-1 setup. Offering support will be Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqueta, and Said Benrahma.

Possible Line-ups:

Luton Town
Kaminski; Kabore, Burke, Lockyer, Bell, Giles; Chong, Nakamba, Barkley; Adebayo, Morris

West Ham United
Areola; Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson; Alvarez; Bowen, Paqueta, Ward-Prowse, Benrahma; Antonio

Prediction:

While Luton Town have conceded seven goals across two league defeats this season, West Ham have scored seven goals while picking up two wins and a draw.

With that in mind, we expect the Hammers to extend their unbeaten run by notching another impressive victory at Kenilworth Road, leaving the Hatters without a point.
