Our prediction for this Championship match:
Saturday’s football game at Kenilworth Road pits together Luton Town and West Bromwich Albion, the two promotion-chasing teams. The Hatters are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, but they will have a big fish to fry against the in-form Baggies. Fit-again defender Reece Burke, who found the net in a 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town, should be recalled to the starting Xi, while all Fred Onyedinma, Sonny Bradley, Henri Lansbury, and James Shea miss out with injuries.
Meanwhile, the visitors made a slow start to the season, but their current form (3-0-0) is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. WBA are eager to climb to the playoffs berth, but beating Luton on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that both teams should be happy with one point from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Henri Lansbury):
Henri Lansbury began his youth career at Norwich City, but he soon moved to Arsenal. Lansbury made his first-team debut for the Gunners on 31 October, 2007 in the League Cup win over Sheffield United. It has to be noted that he came from the bench and replaced Theo Walcott.
After spending three years on loan at Scunthorpe United, Watford, Norwich City and West Ham United, the 183-cm-tall midfielder signed a four-year deal with Nottingham Forest on 28 August, 2012. He has established himself as a first-team regular and he made 128 league appearances for the Reds before the start of the 2016/2017 Championship campaign.
Henri Lansbury has 21 caps for England U21 team and he used to play for England U16, U17 and U19 teams in the past as well.
