Match Preview
Pep Guardiola has admitted that Man City currently find themselves in the midst of a minor crisis. The reigning champions come into the weekend after going four without a win in the Premier League. That run of form has seen last season’s treble winners drop to fourth in the standings, and a response will be expected after a below par effort when losing 1-0 to Aston Villa in midweek.
Luton will be a massive price to claim maximum points this weekend, as the Hatters come into the fixture after winning just twice in their opening 15 matches this term. Results in midweek saw the Hatters drop back into the bottom three places in the standings, and only a win will lift them out of the relegation places this weekend.

This will be the first meeting between Luton and Man City since City landed a 2-0 win in the third tier in April 1999. In fact, City are unbeaten in their last nine against the Hatters, with their most recent defeat being suffered in September 1986. City’s record against newly promoted opposition is also incredibly strong, as they have won 13 of their last 14.
One of the most interesting trends is Luton’s record in the top-flight against the reigning champions. They have won each of their last seven, with that winning sequence occurring between 1985 and 1992. However, they will need to be much stronger defensively against the reigning champions, as they are still without a clean sheet this term.
Luton vs Man City Prediction
We think that this could be the worst possible time to come up against the reigning champions, as we expect City to bounce back to winning ways with a dominant showing. Therefore, the visitors on the spread could be the best betting angle.
