Prediction: 1-1
Luton
After sharing the spoils with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough at the weekend, Watford will be looking to return to winning ways when they face Luton Town on Saturday. The Hornets have been impressive at the back ever since Vladimir Ivic took over the reins, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence against the Hatters. You should bear in mind that pacey winger Gerard Deoulofeu remains in the recovery room for the hosts, as well as Danny Welbeck, Isaac Success, Willie Hughes, Daryl Janmaat, and Etienne Capoue.
Luton aim to build on back-to-back wins over Barnsley and Derby, and seeing that they have already managed to keep two clean sheets in all competitions this season, a low-scoring affair is on the cards. In their last meeting in the Championship, back in 2006, the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, and given the number of absentees in the home team, the history is likely to repeat itself.

Highlighted Player (Andre Gray):
Wolverhampton-born striker Andre Gray is a product of the Shrewsberry Town youth academy who hit the limelight during his two loan spell with Luton Town. A no-nonsense forward endured a difficult childhood which left him with a four-inch scar on his left cheek after he got stabbed in the face in a gang-related incident back in 2011.
Fortunately, Andre Grey was pulled out of the gang lifestyle by his mother and close friends and focused on his football career. Having scored 57 goals in 111 appearances with The Hatters, Gray was prized away by Brentford in a club-record deal at the time. Just a season later Gray moved to Burnley where he hit 23 goals in 41 Championship appearances to emerge as a vital cog in his club’s Premier League push in 2014/15. After nine goals in 32 top-flight appearances with he Clarets, Gray was transferred to Watford for yet another club-record fee.
The Englishman’s prolific goalscoring record in the Football League was brought to a halt, however, with Gray scoring just five goals in 31 Premier League appearances during the 2017/18 season.
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.

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.
