As Manchester City prepares to take on Luton in the Premier League on Saturday, there are several key facts and figures to consider. Historically, Man City has had the upper hand in home league games against Luton, winning their last four matches by an aggregate score of 12-1. Their last time they hosted Luton was in April 1999, where they secured a 2-0 victory. Their last encounter in the top-flight in February 1992 ended in a 4-0 win for Man City.
On the other hand, Luton has never won an away league match against the reigning top-flight champions in 16 attempts, with their last nine losses to reigning champions resulting in an aggregate score of 27-2. However, Luton has been successful in scoring goals from set-pieces this season, with only Arsenal and Everton having scored more in the Premier League than them.
Luton’s form at home has been impressive as well. They have been unbeaten at Kenilworth Road since December 4th, extending their unbeaten streak to ten games across all competitions. Additionally, James Collins has been on a scoring spree this season, with eight goals from his last seven Premier League appearances and a total of 13 goals this season – his best return since he scored 18 goals for West Ham United during the 2014/2015 season.
Manchester City’s impressive form at home continues to be a force to be reckoned with. They remain unbeaten after three months at Etihad Stadium and have yet to concede a goal after three halves played at home across all competitions this season. The team is also leading the way when it comes to clean sheets across all competitions this season with nine clean sheets already achieved after just nine games played.
In conclusion, both teams bring unique strengths into Saturday’s matchup, but Manchester City’s dominance at home will likely play a significant role in determining the outcome of the game.
