Prediction: 2-1
Luton
Burnley will look to recover from the FA Cup loss to Tottenham when they take on Luton Town in the Premier League round 21. The Clarets are on a three-game losing run in all competitions, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in the national championship. Midfielder Josh Brownhill is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Sander Berge misses out through suspension. Both Benson Manue and Luca Koleosho are sidelined with injuries.
The Hatters, on the other hand, failed to turn their dominance into victory in a goalless draw with League One side Bolton at the weekend and given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Burnley are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s encounter. Experienced Luton midfielder Andros Townsend returns to the starting line-up, while defender Issa Kabore is on international duty. Both Tom Lockyer and Reece Burke remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Jay Rodríguez):
Having progressed through the youth ranks of his hometown club Burnley, Jay Rodriguez was rewarded with a professional debut against Bristol City in December 2007 as an 18-year-old boy. It wasn’t until the 2008/09 season when he began to show glimpses of proper promise for the Clarets, however.
With 15 goals and six assists in 37 Championship outings in 2011/12 campaign, Jay Rodriguez caught the eye of several Premier League clubs and it was Southampton who pounced for his signature in a £7 million deal. Six goals and eight assist in his debut Premier League season were followed by a breakthrough record of 15 goals and three assists in 33 matches of the 2013/14 campaign.
An unfortunate cruciate ligament injury sustained in April 2014 halted his progress as he sat through the entire 2014/15 season. It did not prevent West Bromwich Albion from making a move for Rodriguez in 2017, making him the first signing of the summer transfer window, worth a reported £12 million. The WBA forward features only once for England U21 in 2011 and made a single senior appearance – in a 2-0 defeat to Chile in November 2013.
Highlighted Team (Luton ):
Founded back on April 11, 1885, Luton Town are an English club that compete in the Championship. The Hatters welcome their rivals at Kenilworth Road, the stadium which was opened in 1905. The capacity of the stadium is 10,356, with Luton Borough Council owning the venue.
Luton Town wear orange shirts with a little white and dark blue and dark blue shorts when playing at home, whilst their away colours are white and dark blue. Andy Rennie is the club’s all-time top scorer, netting 162 goals in all competitions for the Hatters. The likes of Joe Payne, Hugh Billington, Bernard Streten, Dyd Owen, Bob Morton, Ron Baynham, Gordon Turner and Mal Donaghy are one of the club’s most notable players as well.
Luton Town finished the 2018/2019 League One campaign in top position in the standings and, as a result, they will compete in the Championship in the 2019/2020 season.
