Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Liverpool and Luton Town go head to head at Anfield in a postponed Premier League game. The Reds are eager to retain top position in the standings, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. The good news for the hosts is that fit-again ace Mohamed Salah returns to the starting XI, while Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones have joined Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, and Dominik Szoboszlai in the recovery room.
The Hatters are sitting in 17th place in the table, only one point clear of the relegation zone and given their shaky defence, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Earlier in the process the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road, but we are tempted to bet on the in-form hosts this time out. As for the away team, Tom Lockyer misses out through illness, while both Mads Juel Andersen and Marvelous Nakamba are out of contention through injuries.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
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.
