Luton Town need to shore up their defence if they are to avoid relegation back to the Championship. The Hatters were tipped to be demoted at the start of the season with some people suggesting they would break Derby County’s record for the least number of points.

They have already beaten Derby’s total of 11 points as they have collected 20 thanks to five wins. They are still nervously looking over their shoulder in 17th position though. They are only not in the drop zone because of Everton’s 10-point deduction.

Manchester United are still a long way off from competing for major trophies, but they look to have turned a corner in recent weeks and they are now genuinely fighting for a top-four place.

The Red Devils are undefeated in their last four Premier League matches and are on a run of three consecutive victories in the league.

Luton Town have finally found their feet in the Premier League, but whether or not it will be enough to remain in the top flight remains to be seen.

The Hatters have won one and drawn two of their last five matches in the Premier League. In that run, they have conceded 11 goals and if they are to avoid the drop they need to improve at the back.

Captain Tom Lockyer has still not been cleared to return following his cardiac arrest on the pitch against Bournemouth in December. Summer signing Mads Andersen has been out recently with a calf injury, but he has a chance of featuring on Sunday.

Manchester United are back in the race for a Champions League place after finding some form in recent weeks. They have not lost in the league since they were turned over 2-1 away at Nottingham Forest in December.

They have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 with striker Rasmus Hojlund finally looking confident in front of the goal. The Denmark international had been criticised for his failure to score goals regularly, but he has scored in four consecutive matches, and he looks like he belongs in the Premier League.

One of the reasons United have picked up in recent weeks is the return from injury of Casemiro and the emergence of England Under 19 international Kobbie Mainoo. They work well in midfield which allows the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho to do their thing.

Head to Head

Manchester United have dominated results against Luton Town in the past. The Red Devils have won 24 of their 32 encounters with the Hatters winning just two of them.

United have already played Luton this season with Victor Lindelof scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils have won six of their last seven meetings with one game ending in a draw back in 1992. Luton have not beaten Manchester United since they claimed a 2-1 league win back in March 1987.

Our Betting Tip for Today- Rasmus Hojlund to score first and Manchester United to win @ 5/1 Bet365

Manchester United are clear favourites to win this game thanks to their recent form. They can be backed at 4/5 to take all three points. Luton Town are 3/1 to win on home soil with the draw on offer at the same price.

Rasmus Hojlund has finally started to repay his £64 million price tag with four goals in his last four Premier League appearances.

He looks to be playing with more confidence and his team-mates are looking to get the ball to him more – which was not happening earlier on in the season.

Those four goals have taken his season tally to five in the league this season, which shows just how much he has improved in recent weeks. He also scored in their FA Cup win against Newport County.

I expect United to be too strong for Luton and they will take advantage of their leaky defence with Hojlund once again finding the back of the net.
