Manchester City vs Luton Town Match Preview
The Citizens receive Luton after their exhilarating 3-3 game at Madrid on Tuesday and will be looking to make easy work of them and quickly shift their focus back to the UCL return leg next week.
Two total opposites in the Premier League: the title contenders against a relegation threatened side. One of the most expensive squads against the least expensive. The only aspect in common between them is that they cannot afford to give away points.
Manchester City currently sits in third place just one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool. In a title fight like this one with three teams that win game after game, no one can afford to let any points slip away, especially at home to a team in the bottom half of the table.
City has won their last two in the Premier League, and has not lost in any competition since early December. Goals come easily for Pep Guardiola’s side, having been kept off the scoresheet just twice in the Premier League this term.
As for Luton, they will be aiming to maintain their top flight status come season end. Their 2-1 win last weekend at home to Bournemouth put an end to a 10-game winless run in the Premier League. Rob Edwards’ squad is currently in the relegation zone on goal difference. Any points at the Etihad will come in handy

Manchester City vs Luton Town Prediction
Manchester City win at 1.10
Regardless of the team they put out, Manchester City has the players and the football to beat Luton comfortably, and will not let this be the game that prevents them from becoming the first team ever to lift the Premier League four times in a row. They will try to get the score up quickly and control the game and their energies with a comfortable advantage.
Lutton Town will play the game like most do at the Etihad: sit back, and try to get a 0-0. An almost impossible task against this side that once the first goal arrives the next ones are not short to follow.
Manchester City vs Luton Town Tips
Over 2.5 Goals at 1.28
Manchester City’s last game against Lutton Town was a 6-2 goal fest in the FA Cup. Erling Haaland scored five of those six in that match. Expect a high number of goals in this game, especially since City has scored four in each of their last two Premier League matches.
Moreover, while Luton is still trying to maintain their Premier League status, they do score in most games. They have found the net in 27 of their 32 league games this season. While they are unlikely to score more than once on Saturday, do not be surprised if they do find the back of the net.
