Huddersfield Town are back on the road for their next Sky Bet Championship game, travelling to Kenilworth Road to face Luton Town on Saturday 2 October 2021; 3pm kick-off.
Town go into Saturday’s game looking to build on their thrilling 3-2 victory over Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday 28 September 2021.
Luton Town will also be looking to add to their latest win, a 5-0 victory over Coventry City on Wednesday 29 September 2021.
THE OPPOSITION
Luton finished last season occupying 12th place in the Sky Bet Championship table with 62 points.
Managed by Nathan Jones, they currently sit ninth, with 13 points from 10 games so far.
They are currently unbeaten in their last three home games, and will be looking to extend that run when they welcome Town to Kenilworth Road.
ONES TO WATCH
Jordan Clark
Played often as Luton’s chief creator in midfield, Clark sits in the space between the lines behind their forwards, looking to supply the strikers as his team break on the counter. A smart player with good technical ability, he will need to be closely managed by Town’s holding midfielders to ensure his influence on the game is limited. A versatile player, he can be deployed in different positions, allowing Luton to change shape and formation.
Elijah Adebayo
With a brace in Luton’s 5-0 midweek home win against Coventry City and one half of Luton’s dangerous striking partnership, Elijah Adebayo has a lot to like about his game. Quick, confident and always working hard for his side, he will give Town’s backline plenty of headaches as he attempts to play off their shoulder and get in behind them. One of the main reasons Luton play without the ball and look to break, Adebayo is someone Town are going to have to be wise to.
Harry Cornick
Perhaps the home side’s best known player and certainly one of their most dangerous, Cornick also scored a midweek brace. Lightening quick and central to all of Luton’s best attacking play, he also laid on two assists in their midweek 5-0 win. Having won Luton’s Goal of the Season, Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season awards last season, it’s no secret how important the 26 year old is to his side. To win at the weekend, Town are going to have to keep him quiet.
