Luton Town vs Sunderland Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Hatters welcome table toppers in matchday 11 of the competition.
Luton Town welcome league leaders Sunderland at Kenilworth Road in round eleven of EFL Championship action aiming to secure consecutive victories for the second time this season.
Luton Town haven’t started the season in the best possible way as they find themselves in the 17th position after match day ten. Consistency has been a major issue for the team as they have only managed to register consecutive victories one time this season. The Hatters did bounce back in the last game to secure a 3-0 victory over Watford to end their three-game winless streak.
Meanwhile, Sunderland are looking the real deal this season as they aim to win the Championship. The Black Cats have made a fantastic start to the season occupying the top spot after matchday ten. Regis Le Bris has done a wonderful job of guiding the team to their brilliant best this season evidenced by their stats having scored the most goals in the division so far.

Players to Watch
Alfie Doughty (Luton Town)
Alfie Doughty has been one of the standout performers for the Hatters in this campaign. The 24-year-old is known for his tenacious industry from the left-hand side putting a real shift between defence and attack to help the team in both ends. This season, he has already provided three assists for the team and also has created the most big chances for them (4). His pinpoint crosses have been spot-on this season having created many chances for the team from those situations.
Romaine Mundle (Sunderland)
