Luton Town vs Man City Prediction
Luton Town have caused issues for many big teams this season but have failed to get over the finishing line on most parts, except for getting a draw against Liverpool. They pushed Arsenal, Man City, Man United, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea to the edge but lost in the end.
They come into the Man City clash on the back of a 4-1 defeat against Liverpool at Anfield. City, meanwhile, beat Bournemouth 1-0 away.
While Luton are expected to cause some problems, Pep Guardiola’s should progress to the next round with the Hatters also missing some key players.
Predicted Score: Luton Town 1-3 Manchester City
