The Premier League is back with a full set of weekend fixtures as we return to regularly scheduled programming to begin the month of February. There are so many things up in the air at both ends of the table but hopefully, in the weeks ahead, we’ll start to get a bit more clarity. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a fun clash between Newcastle United and Luton Town.
Newcastle Form GuideWhile things are certainly moving in a positive direction for Newcastle United Football Club, things haven’t been smooth sailing for Eddie Howe’s men this season. They’re currently lingering around mid-table and while there’s still a decent chance they could win silverware between now and the end of May, they need to make some big tactical adjustments.
For whatever reason, it just seems as if Newcastle have Aston Villa’s number. They were calm, composed and solid in every department against the Midlanders as they ran out to a 3-0 lead before eventually cruising their way to a 3-1 result.
Luton Form GuideLuton Town fans are on cloud nine right now as they continue to enjoy life in the Premier League. When you put that alongside their success in the FA Cup, we’d say this is shaping up to be a pretty fun season for the Hatters. The priority, of course, is staying in the top flight, and we’d say they are looking good in that quest as we head into the second half of the season.
In less than three minutes, Luton raced into a 2-0 lead at home to Brighton on Tuesday. They added another before half time with Elijah Adebayo securing his hat-trick in the 56th minute, as the Hatters pulled off a stunning 4-0 win.
Match PredictionLuton are becoming a really fun team to watch at this level, largely because they seem to approach every game with no fear. Alas, they’re coming up against a team that has a point to prove, which is one of the reasons why we’re backing a Newcastle win.
