Team News

Luton
Burnley
  • Luton will look familiar on Monday evening with Rob Edwards set to continue with his 3-4-1-2 system into the new campaign.
  • 18-year-old defender Joe Jacobson has featured heavily in pre-season and should start at centre-back on Monday.
  • Scott Parker has been testing a 4-4-2 set-up in pre-season with Luca Koleosho and Lyle Foster leading the line.
  • Two debuts are on the cards for Burnley on Monday night with goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky and marquee signing Maxime Esteve both in line for starts.

Prediction

  • Luton were relegated at the first attempt in the Premier League last season, but the Hatters will take confidence from how competitive they were.
  • The Hatters have a squad filled with proven Championship talent and a manager in Rob Edwards who knows how to get the club out of this division. They are expected to be in the hunt for an instant return to the top flight.
  • The same can be said for their opening gameweek opponents Burnley.
  • Under the management of Vincent Kompany, the Clarets were humbled in the Premier League last season, but they have a mouth-watering squad and new inspiration at the top in the form of serial Championship promotion-winner Scott Parker.

  • @Marbella Goals were never in doubt.

  • Just 2 points separated these sides in the final premier league table last term.

  • Relegated opener for both teams. Luton had a taste of life at the top and without much change to their squad may want this more than Burnley, but only just
