With just five points remaining in the Premier League season, Luton are running out of time to haul themselves out of the relegation zone.
This weekend, they host Brentford, who have also been pulled into the relegation dogfight due to their poor recent form.
Here’s how both squads are shaping up.
Luton Team News
Luton have a laundry list of injuries at the moment as Tom Lockyer, Gabriel Osho, Marvelous Nakamba, Elijah Adebayo, Mads Andersen, Jacob Brown, Daniel Potts, Amari’i Bell and Chiedozie Ogbene all won’t play a part on Saturday.
There is some positive news, though, as Issa Kabore can return after being ineligible to face Manchester City, while Albert Sambi Lokonga could make a return from injury.
Key player: Luton
Ross Barkley has been one of Luton’s best performers this season, his Premier League experience vital in helping the club adapt to the top flight.
Brentford Team News
Brentford are set to be without Aaron Hickey, Rico Henry, Ben Mee and Josh Dasilva for the rest of the season, but on a more positive note, Kevin Schade and Ethan Pinnock both returned to feature off the bench in the last game.
Kristoffer Ajer and Ivan Toney were both rested for the win over Sheffield Utd due niggling calf and hip problems, but they should be fine to start this one.
Christian Norgaard’s fitness will be assessed prior to kick-off as he recovers from a back issue.
With Toney absent for the majority of the season, Bryan Mbuemo has stepped up to score eight Premier League goals.
Luton (4-3-3): Kaminski; Kabore, Hashioka, Burke, Doughty; Clark, Mpanzu, Barkley; Townsend, Morris, Chong.
Brentford (3-5-2): Flekken; Zanka, Collins, Pinnock; Roerslev, Jensen, Norgaard, Damsgaard, Reguilon; Mbeumo, Toney.
