Luton Town F.C.
Manchester City
Contents
- Competition: Premier League
- Date: 10th December 2023
- Kickoff: 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET
- Venue: Kenilworth Road
This weekend, Manchester City will travel to Kenilworth Road with the aim of keeping their dream of securing the Premier League title for the fourth consecutive season alive. They will be facing off against Luton Town, one of the newly promoted teams.
This season hasn’t seen many victories for the hosts, though their home performances have been commendable. Earlier in the week, Rob Edwards’ team welcomed Arsenal, the league leaders, with an aim to stretch their undefeated home streak to three matches. Despite going home without any points, the Hatters found several positive aspects from the game. The Gunners were only able to secure victory after a decisive stoppage-time goal from Declan Rice.
This weekend, Luton Town aims to capitalize on their previous performance as they welcome a Manchester City team eyeing another title. Following three straight league draws, Manchester City headed to an on-fire Aston Villa in their last match, hoping to return to their winning form. The absence of suspended Rodri made victory a tough proposition for City, but a loss was not widely anticipated. Now in fourth place in the league, Pep Guardiola’s squad must bounce back this Sunday afternoon.
Luton Town vs Manchester City Betting Tips: City to win & Over 2.5 goals
Luton have proven to be a challenge for several major teams this season. However, the comeback of Jack Grealish and Rodri after their suspensions presents an overwhelming level of skill that the Hatters may struggle to combat. In addition, Rob Edwards’ squad possesses one of the poorest defences in this division this season. Luton has not managed to maintain a clean sheet in the league this season and has let in a minimum of three goals in their previous two matches.
- Best Tip: City and over 2.5 goals
- Luton Town vs Manchester City prediction: 1-3

Luton Town team news
There were no new injuries for Luton Town in their loss to Arsenal last weekend, so it’s likely that head coach Rob Edwards will keep the same starting lineup from that game.
Ross Barkley, the former Chelsea player, delivered an exceptional performance in midfield, scoring one of the goals for the Hatters. He will maintain his position in the starting eleven. Meanwhile, Chiedozie Ogbene is vying for a starting spot in the forward line.

Manchester City team news
Jérémy Doku’s participation for Manchester City remains uncertain, following his absence due to fitness issues during the previous defeat to Aston Villa.
After serving their suspensions due to accumulated bookings, both Jack Grealish and Rodri are anticipated to return to the starting eleven. However, Kevin De Bruyne and Zack Steffen remain sidelined due to injuries.
Erling Haaland is likely to retain his position in the final third, whereas Rico Lewis and Manuel Akanji might be relegated to the bench to make room for Grealish and Rodri.
