Luton take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 11 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, November 5th at Kenilworth Road (Luton).
Luton have never played at such a level before. On the contrary, they spent a full decade in the top English football division, even playing in cup finals twice and winning the decisive match in 1988. However, in 1992, they were relegated, and eventually, The Town found themselves in League 2, the fourth tier of local football. They were promoted from there by Nathan Jones, and he even took them to the Championship playoffs, but in 2022, it all ended in failure. The specialist eventually left for Southampton, which also didn't end well. Edwards, who replaced him, managed better: Luton managed to secure promotion through a penalty shootout in the decisive match. It's clear that the newcomer is seen as the main outsider at this long-awaited level. However, on their fifth attempt, they secured a draw against Wolverhampton at home, and then even won away against a direct competitor, Everton. But over the next four matches, there was only one draw, a 2-2 result against Nottingham Forest, with three losses.

Liverpool are trying to regain their position in the Premier League. The Reds won a lot under Klopp. Guardiola considered them the main competitor. However, the previous title race was won by City against Arsenal, and The Reds had another rough patch, and it was quite prolonged. As a result, despite making an effort in the spring, they only finished 5th, which meant they missed out on the Champions League. Now, the grand club is only playing in the Europa League this autumn, and even without fielding their optimal lineup, they managed to maximize points, including scoring five goals against Toulouse. Importantly, after making targeted squad reinforcements through summer transfers, the team has been able to earn points nearly to the maximum in the Premier League. There was one loss, but it was not only a solitary defeat but also a controversial one. Even VAR didn't help, and Luis Diaz's goal wasn't counted. Only later, while being a man down, an own goal by Matip in the 90+ minute sealed the 1-2 score. But in the other nine matches, there were two wins and a couple of draws, keeping them in the top four. In the League Cup against Bournemouth, despite Klopp's negative attitude toward the tournament, they also managed to win 2-1.
After Luton's relegation from the top division, their paths only crossed in 2006 and 2008 in cup competitions. On both occasions, Liverpool advanced further, but it's worth noting that Luton managed to hold Liverpool to a draw at their own ground over a decade ago, and then at Anfield a few days later, Liverpool won 5-0. The visitors will undoubtedly be the favorites, and quite decisively so. The Hatters are simply too weak. In this case, you can consider placing a bet on The Reds with a -1.5 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.5 handicap.
