Our prediction for this Championship match:
Norwich City will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Preston and Watford when they face Luton Town on Matchday 16. The Canaries have a chance to climb to top position, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Hatters. A man to watch in the home team will be Teemu Pukki, who has netted four goals in the English second tier so far this term, while all Adam Idah, Jon Rowe, Sam McCallum, Jakob Sorensen, and Dimitris Giannoulis continue to miss out through injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Queens Park Rangers. Luton Town want to climb to the playoffs berth, but they will have a mountain to climb in the midweek clash. Since Norwich City have turned their Carrow Road into a real fortress, home win should definitely be considered. Tuesday’s clash comes too early for Luton duo Reece Burke – James Shea.
Highlighted Player (Grant Hanley):
Grant Hanley is Scottish footballer who plays for Norwich City as defender. Hanley was born in Dumfries, Scotland, on November 20, 1991 and he started his youth career at Queen of the South. After ending his spells with Crewe Alexandra and Rangers, the Scottish player joined English club Blackburn Rovers, where he started his senior career.
After scoring eight goals in 183 appearances for the Riversiders in league matches, he moved to fellow English club Newcastle United in July, 2016 for an undisclosed fee. Grant Hanley, though, made no more than 10 appearances for Newcastle United in the Championship before joining Norwich City. The 191-cm-tall defender made his full international debut for Scotland against Wales on in May, 2011.
He scored his first goal for the Scotland national football team in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Wales. His contract with Norwich City should expire on June 30, 2021.

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.
