Prediction: 0-2
West Ham
Luton and West Ham go head to head at Kenilworth Road in the opening match of the Premier League round 4. The Hatters do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team conceding seven goals in total in back-to-back losses to Brighton (1-4) and Chelsea (0-3) and they face yet another uphill task against West Ham. Both Dan Potts and Jordan Clark are out of contention with injuries, while Gabriel Osho is a major doubt.
The Hammers, on the other hand, did well to reinforce the squad following Declan Rice’s departure and that is already paying off. The capital club proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Chelsea (3-1) and Brighton (3-1) and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. Konstantinos Mavropanos misses out due to the lack of fitness, while Tomas Soucek should recover in time to face Luton.
