Game Preview
On Friday night, the Premier League newcomers Luton Town will go to Kenilworth Road to take on the red-hot West Ham United. The Hammers have collected seven points out of a possible nine, while the Hatters have nothing despite beating Gillingham in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.
It was always going to be tricky for Luton Town to adjust to the demands of the Premier League after gaining promotion from the Championship playoffs last season, especially with tough away meetings against Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea.
Edwards’s squad had to wait two weeks before their next game because they were supposed to host Burnley on the second weekend of the season. The postponement was due to maintenance being done on the field at Kenilworth Road.
The Hatters had another tough away day in the Premier League last weekend, losing 3-0 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge despite having only 32% of the ball and one shot on target. Raheem Sterling scored twice in the rampage.
Many predicted that West Ham United would struggle early in the 2023–24 season after losing star player Declan Rice, but David Moyes’s team has started the year strong by winning seven of their first nine games.
West Ham is off to a great start in the Premier League, as they are one of just four clubs without a loss so far this season (the others being Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, and Arsenal). Only Brighton and Aston Villa have scored more than West Ham’s seven goals.
Nayef Aguerd scored the opening goal for the Hammers after only seven minutes, and they went on to defeat Chelsea 3-1 at home after playing the final 30 minutes with 10 men after he was sent out for a second yellow card.
James Ward-Prowse, Jarrod Bowen, and Michail Antonio scored for West Ham as they earned a 3-1 victory away from home last weekend. Hosts Brighton had 78% of the ball and 25 shots, but they were unable to convert their opportunities.
