Our prediction for this Premier League match:
West Ham United will try to recover from a massive 5-0 loss to Chelsea when they take on Luton Town in London on Saturday afternoon. The Hammers were hammered at Stamford Bridge, but they are surely capable of matching the Hatters in front of home fans. Both Kalvin Phillips and Nayef Aguerd are sidelined with injuries, while Konstantinos Mavropanos should recover in time to face Luton Town.
The visiting side, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing three of their last four league matches, while sharing the spoils with Everton. As a result, their Premier League status is in great danger. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Rob Edwards’ men have been struggling at the back in recent weeks. Experienced midfielder Andros Townsend is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Mads Juel Andersen, Dan Potts, and Chiedozie Ogbene are rated doubtful for the match.
