A last ditch comeback fell short as the Hatters lose by a gaol after Chelsea were given a three-goal head start at Kenilworth Road. Two goals by Cole Palmer either side of a Noni Madueke finish so Chelsea storm three goals ahead. Game changes Tahith Chong, Chiedozie Ogbene and Carlton Morris helped get two goals back with almost ten to play, but it was too little too late. Luton now approach the January transfer window with nothing urgent but some room to improve, and the transfer rumours...

The Hatters got their first back-to-back wins in the Premier League, and their first in the top flight since 1991, after an impressive 1-0 win at home to Newcastle United was followed by a dogged 3-2 away win at Sheffield United. With the gap being closed to 17th and the relegation fight opening up, can Luton make it three in a row as Chelsea are the next opponents at Kenilworth Road.  #lutontown #LTFC #COYH #PremierLeague #PL #afcb #afc #avfc #brentford #bhafc #burnley #chelseafc #cpfc...

It is the Premier League's most in-form team up next for Rob Edwards and his Luton Town, and whilst performances of late have been rather impressive, the Hatters need to start picking up points if surviving the Premier League drop will be achieved. The Cherries will be brimming with confidence following what has been 13 points taken from their last 5 games, however, defiance and resilience are part of our club's DNA. #lutontown #LTFC #COYH #PremierLeague #afcb #afc #avfc #brentford #bhafc...

Luton Town may have suffered a second defeat at Kenilworth Road in 5 days but confidence will be high after what was yet a positive display against the team that are widely considered as the best in the world. Elijah Adebayo’s towering header sent us Town fans dreaming of all 3 points, however, a quick-fire Man City double turned the game on its head. Pride was the overriding feeling once more in LU4 but there is a shared belief that points need to be grabbed during the festive...

A 96th-minute Declan Rice winner keeps Arsenal top of the Premier League, causing agony for the Hatters who were so close to earning another hard-earned point against a top 6 side. It was another performance to be proud of, however, with strong outings for Ross Barkley, Gabe Osho, and Elijah Adebayo to name a few. The games don’t get any easier for Luton, as Champions of Europe Manchester City visit Kenilworth Road.  #lutontown #LTFC #COYH #PremierLeague #PL #afcb #afc #avfc #brentford #bhafc...

The Hatters were on the end of a bruising 3-1 defeat at the hands of Brentford last Saturday, as the team’s injury woes continue with the losses of Tom Lockyer and Teden Mengi at the Gtech Community Stadium. A promising first-half performance, limiting the Bees to almost zero chances, gave the Town some hope, but three sloppy goals handed three points to Brentford. There’s no time for Luton to lick their wounds however, as the midweek visit of table-topping Arsenal are the club’s next...

Luton head to the Gtech Community Stadium this Saturday afternoon with the best chance yet to claim back-to-back Premier League wins, as an inconsistent Brentford side are the hosts. The Bees, deservedly lauded as a model club for most new or soon-to-be Premier League sides, have had an indifferent season, with the loss of Ivan Toney to betting suspension causing some difficulties in games. Despite Toney’s absence, Bryan Mbeumo has largely stepped up and become Brentford’s new talismanic...

Huge relief for the Hatters as a first Premier League home win puts them five points clear of the relegation places. Luton finished on the right side of the fine margins that they’ve so often suffered from this season, to ensure three more points towards safety, and peg Crystal Palace back and bring them into the relegation battle. Huge performances for Chiedozie Ogbene, Teden Mengi, Ross Barkley, and Thomas Kaminski, were the key highlights from the weekend’s fixture.  #lutontown #LTFC #COYH...

The final international break of 2023 is over, which means attention turns to club football and the return of Luton Town to Kenilworth Road. Crystal Palace are the next opponents, who find themselves firmly in mid-table with 15 points from their first 13 games. The Hatters, however, approach the game which could almost be declared a must-win, with performances needing to turn into points. Three points on Saturday not only boosts Luton’s chances of survival but could also bring the Eagles back...

Another strong and battling performance from the Hatters but they leave Old Trafford with zero points, dropping into the bottom three ahead of the international break. Lots to be proud of for the Club, who almost 13 years ago found themselves just six miles down the road at Altrincham in a league game, but now largely matching Manchester United. It's time now for Luton to start turning good performances into points, as the Club continues in their battle for Premier League survival. #lutontown...

A trip to Old Trafford awaits Luton Town following a terrific performance in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool, with Manchester United’s inconsistent start to the campaign continuing right into this upcoming fixture. The Hatters will be keen to silence the Theatre of Dreams as early as possible and inflict further difficulty upon a real giant of the English game and confidence levels within the Town camp could not be higher.  #lutontown #LTFC #COYH #PremierLeague #afcb #afc #avfc #brentford...

The Hatters leave Kenilworth Road with a feeling of what could have been as Luis Diaz’s 95th equaliser causes heartbreak for Luton Town, stealing what could have been a famous victory under the lights. Despite that, a point at home against Liverpool can be seen as a bonus point towards survival, and with an excellent performance to match there is cause for excitement in the Town’s plight to secure Premier League football for another season. Thomas Kaminski and Ross Barkley both impressed in...

Attention turns to the visit of Liverpool to Kenilworth Road as Luton entertain the Reds at home for the first time since the 2000s, when Luton had two of their most memorable cup nights in recent history. With many threats in the Liverpool side, most notably the affectionately known “Egyptian King” Mo Salah, what matchups do Luton need to restrict opposition chances, whilst also causing some damage of their own? As Luton aim to get their first home Premier League win, could there be...

Aston Villa’s home league unbeaten run extended to 12 games as Luton came away from Villa Park with a 3-1 defeat. Whilst the weekend’s results saw the Hatters drop in the Premier League’s bottom 3, only losing this game by two goals could turn out to be a positive result come May with the battle for survival looking really close.  #lutontown #LTFC #COYH #PremierLeague #afcb #afc #avfc #brentford #bhafc #burnley #chelseafc #cpfc #everton #ffc #lfc #mcfc #mufc #newcastle #nffc #sufc #spurs...

A short trip to the Midlands for Luton as the Hatters face a Villa side who are unbeaten in eleven home Premier League games at Villa Park. Ollie Watkins and Moussa Diaby top the list of threats for a side competing amongst the European places, but can the Town pose threats of their own as the upcoming three-game spell could all be classed as “free hits”? #lutontown #LTFC #COYH #PremierLeague #afcb #afc #avfc #brentford #bhafc #burnley #chelseafc #cpfc #everton #ffc #lfc #mcfc #mufc...

Drama at the City Ground as Luton come back from 2-0 down to steal a point in Robin Hood country to take back down south. Key second-half substitutes from Rob Edwards - with big impacts from Ross Barkley, Andros Townsend, and Elijah Adebayo - changed the game in the Hatters' favour after two Chris Wood goals saw Forest go in front and seemingly cruise to all three points. The latter of the changes then saw redemption following his miss against Spurs with a well-taken finish. How big will this...

A successful international break for the Three Lions having secured qualification for UEFA Euro 2024, but the Hatters are now back in action with a trip to Nottingham Forest. Both sides have changed drastically since a 0-0 draw was played out last time out at the City Ground. Luton enter this run of fixtures outside the relegation zone, but with extremely difficult fixtures in the three games to follow the Forest, there is added importance to get some points and keep daylight from...

With no game to preview this weekend due to the international break, a slightly different view is taken on each of Luton Town’s twelve summer signings, with each graded based on value for money, impact so far, and expected impact by the end of the season.

The Hatters get undone by a short corner from Kulusevski as James Maddison’s magic finds Micky Van de Den for the winner at the Kenny. The theme of hard work but coming away with nothing to show for it continues, as multiple chances go amiss against 10-man Spurs, but what can Luton Town do to change their fortunes? As we enter the October international break, with the club sat outside the relegation zone on four points, are Hatters fans more or less confident of Premier League...

Back to earth with a bang after a late defeat at home to Burnley, which is seemingly tough to take. Despite an element of dominance from the visitors in the first half, Luton managed to grab an equaliser and looked good for it, until a wonder strike from Jacob Bruun Larsen. With one more game to go until the October international break, can the Hatters finish this group of games on a high, as they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Kenilworth Road? Spurs arrive at the Kenny in fantastic form, but...

Sweet victory for Luton Town away at the Toffees as the club gains their first-ever win in the Premier League, and the first win in the top flight since April 1992! The win puts the Hatters outside of the drop zone after six games, with their seventh coming along quickly as Luton faces Burnley in the rearranged game at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday. Can the Town make it three unbeaten in top-flight football, and put some breathing room between themselves and the bottom three? #lutontown #LTFC...

Cup defeat in Devon for the Hatters this midweek as their Carabao Cup hopes are ended at the hands of League 1 Exeter City. Not the best preparation for this weekend’s trip to Goodison Park perhaps, but with an injury to Albert Sambi Lokonga and a scan for captain Tom Lockyer, getting back to Luton without injury. With a point last week, Luton travel to Everton in a quest for their first Premier League win.  #lutontown #LTFC #COYH #PremierLeague #EVELUT #afcb #afc #avfc #brentford #bhafc...

Luton Town gained their first Premier League point with a draw at home to 10-man Wolves. Having gone behind from a Pedro Neto goal early in the second half, a Carlton Morris penalty saw the Hatters salvage something from what was a "must not lose" game at Kenilworth Road.

Gameweek 5 approaches with the Hatters yet to register a single Premier League point so far this campaign. Wolves are the next challenge for Luton, who visit Kenilworth Road after an indifferent start and a tough run of fixtures. Portugal international Pedro Neto is the standout player in this Wolves side, will he make his mark and deal LTFC another blow in their quest to stay in the top flight of English football, or will the Hatters kick into gear to secure a vital home win?  #lutontown...
