Luton Town hope to rebound from a midweek shellacking in the FA Cup when potent Aston Villa head to Kenilworth Road.
The Hatters allowed a hat trick — and then some — to five-goal Erling Haaland as they bowed out of the FA Cup. This game was always a bigger one anyway, as Luton are four points back of the safe spaces with just 20 points (though Luton do have a match-in-hand on most of their relegation rivals).
WATCH LUTON TOWN vs ASTON VILLA LIVE
Luton have lost three-straight in Premier League play including a costly defeat to Sheffield United and more understandable setbacks to Manchester United and Liverpool, but open a run of fixtures that promise the chance for points after this visit from Villa — Palace away, Bournemouth away, Forest at home.
Villa have won three-of-four following a 4-2 win over Forest and have a five-point lead over fifth-place Tottenham in the race for a top-four spot. Ollie Watkins and Co. have done it via goals — their 56 trail only the three teams above them on the table.
