Two sides on opposite sides of the table meet at Kenilworth Road this Friday night.
20:00 Friday
Luton look to escape the relegation zone while West Brom aim to stay in the play-off places as these sides clash at Kenilworth Road Stadium this evening.
Luton vs West Brom Prediction
Luton raced into a 2-0 first-half lead against Coventry last weekend thanks to goals from attacking duo Carlton Morris and Elijah Adebayo, but the Sky Blues were unable to hold onto their advantage, eventually losing 3-2 in the Midlands.
Rob Edwards' men have now lost three of their last four Championship matches and have dropped to 22nd in the standings.
West Brom's campaign has been a tale of two halves in the clearest sense.
After winning five and drawing one of their first six league games, Carlos Corberan's men are now winless in their most recent six, taking just four points from a possible 18 in the process.
An uninspiring goalless draw against Cardiff will do little to boost their confidence ahead of this clash.

Luton vs West Brom Team News
- Tom Holmes was sent off during the 3-2 defeat against Coventry, so expect young defender Joe Johnson to step into the starting XI this weekend.
- Alfie Doughty is also suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season and with Amari'i Bell injured, Rob Edwards has no obvious replacement on the left.
- Centre-back duo Semi Ajayi and Paddy McNair both suffered injuries during last weekend's fixture, so expect a makeshift backline from West Brom this weekend.
- Changes are likely further forward too with Tom Fellows and Karlan Grant set for recalls.

Luton vs West Brom Bet Builder Tips
Our bet builder tips for Luton vs West Brom features West Brom to win, Adebayo over 0.5 shots on target and Adebayo over 1.5 fouls.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 6.8/1 with Paddy Power.
With Luton’s defensive struggles and suspensions piling up, West Brom looks primed for a win. The Baggies' solid defense, conceding just 0.6 goals per game, outmatches Luton’s shaky backline, especially with Maja back in scoring form. Expect a clinical West Brom to capitalize and grab a crucial victory.
Adebayo’s resurgence has been clear, with a shot on target in his last three games and two apiece in his last two. His xG shows he’s Luton’s top threat, even above Morris. Given his confidence and form, backing Adebayo to notch at least one shot on target is the smart move here.
Adebayo’s aggressive playstyle and physicality make him a great bet for fouls, especially in tight Championship matches.
He’s committed two or more fouls in nine of twelve games this season, and his aerial duels often draw the referee’s eye. His foul count at home reads 3, 4, 4, and 2 in recent games. Expect him to rack up at least two fouls once again.
