The league leaders host 16th-placed Luton

After a thrilling win against Swansea City AFC, Leeds United the current leaders of EFL Championship 2024-25 are set to host Luton Town FC next. The stakes are very different for the teams clashing, with one topping the charts, while the other struggling below the middle of the table.

Leeds United are having a wonderful season, bagging full points in almost every game. In 16 played in the English second tier this season, they have won nine, drawn five, and lost only two. The team has 32 points as of now and currently leads the table for a higher goal difference than Sunderland and Sheffield United, who also hail 32 points.

Luton Town continue to blow hot and cold this season. The side is improving slowly and have been victorious in two of their last three. For now, they have 18 points only from their 16 games, standing at the 16th spot. 

Kick-off:

Thursday, November 28 at 1:15 AM IST

Location: Elland Road, Beeston, Leeds, West Yorkshire

Form

Leeds United (in all competitions): D-D-D-D-L

Luton Town (in all competitions): L-L-W-L-D

Players to Watch:

Brenden Aaronson (Leeds United)

The playmaker has played in all 16 games for the club, being one of their most consistent players in the midfield. He has also occasionally contributed to the goals to often give the team an edge.

Being the team’s key link between the midfield and forwards, he needs to be a bit better. Especially at providing assists, something he hasn’t done much yet till now.

Carlton Morris (Luton Town)

The No. 9 wears the captain’s armband in the team whenever he starts, and plays as a centre-forward primarily. He can also contribute as an attacking midfielder, but his striking powers are put to use more here.

Morris has struggled to score in the past four games, so he needs to get back to scoring for the better. With a goal against Leeds United, the current leaders will sky-rocket his morale for sure.

Match Facts:

  • Leeds United lost only one of their last 11 league games against Luton Town.
  • Luton Town have lost their last four away games in the league.
  • Leeds United hail the highest positive goal difference in the ongoing EFL Championship.
