Luton vs Man United Prediction and Betting Tips: Preview for Sunday 4:30pm clash

The weekend's action closes out with the 4:30pm kick-off at Kenilworth Road between Luton Town and Manchester United. Take a look at the betting thoughts we've gathered for this intriguing tie.

The Hatters were brought back down to earth following a six-game unbeaten run across the Premier League and FA Cup, with fellow strugglers Sheffield United handing them a 3-1 loss at Kenilworth Road. Rob Edwards' side do still remain a point above danger, crucially holding a game in hand over 18th placed Everton as well.

Erik ten Hag has guided United to an unbeaten start to 2024, winning their two FA Cup ties, drawing with Tottenham and winning three consecutive matches against Wolves, West Ham and most recently Aston Villa. However, having only narrowly beaten this opponent 1-0 at Old Trafford in November, this task maybe isn't as simple as it should be for The Red Devils.

Between these two teams only Bruno Fernandes has registered more shots on target (19) than Carlton Morris' tally of 17 since Luton were promoted to the Premier League.

Town's big forward has netted three goals in his last four matches and is a constant aerial threat for The Hatters. If Luton are to have joy at home to Man United then his presence will be a key asset to utilise on the tight Kenilworth Road pitch.

In his last five league matches, Morris has let off 12 shots, with nine of those hitting the target. At Old Trafford he had two of his team's 10 shots, managing to test the goalkeeper once in that marginal defeat.

Given Morris' fine form and the frequency of Luton's scoring, having netted in 13 of their last 14 matches, we're backing the home centre forward to get on the scoresheet for the fourth time in five matches and for the seventh time in the Premier League this term.

In addition to him, we're also selecting Rasmus Hojlund to continue his rich vein of form. Since notching his first Premier League goal in the comeback win over Villa on Boxing Day, the young Dane hasn't looked back. Hojlund has netted in five consecutive league games and is a backable odds-against price with BetMGM, making this an appealing 11/2 anytime goalscorer double.
