Luton Town vs Manchester United prediction 2024-02-18
Luton Town will be aiming to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Sheffield United when they take on Manchester United in an eagerly-awaited Premier League game. The Blades have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, with the team obviously struggling at the back. As Luton conceded seven goals in total in the previous two league matches, home win should not be considered.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions and we predict that they will take advantage of Luton Town’s shaky defence. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
