Today it’s the turn of Liverpool to head to Premier League newcomers Luton Town, with the Hatters sat in the bottom three ahead of kick-off and having so far managed just one win from their first ten fixtures. Meanwhile the Reds are fourth and can go second with victory.
Luis Diaz is back in the Liverpool squad this weekend despite the ongoing situation with his family after his parents were kidnapped. The Reds won in midweek in the EFL Cup, beating Bournemouth, and are seeking a third straight win in the league.

Luton have more than held their own, and Edwards will be pleased with how his side have played so far. They have created just 0.17 xG, though, compared to 1.05 for Liverpool, so he will be keen for his team to conjure up more of an attacking threat after the interval.

The half-time whistle blows as Luton and Liverpool head back to the changing rooms with the scoreline goalless. Both have had chances, with Nunez going the closest when he struck the bar after Alexander-Arnold’s excellent pass picked him out, while Barkley saw a shot saved by Alisson at the other end. Kaminski made a couple of great stops, including a sublime save to deny Jota and ensure the Hatters got into the break at 0-0.
