Luton Town will host Stoke City at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have failed to readjust to life in the English second tier this season and sit 18th in the league table with just 19 points as pressure begins to mount on head coach Rob Edwards.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Swansea City in their game on Saturday heading into the break a goal up thanks to an Elijah Adebayo strike before their opponents drew level midway through the second half.
Stoke City have also struggled for results in the league this season, although they remain hopeful of a mid-table finish. They were beaten 2-1 by promotion-chasers Sunderland last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a hard-fought point before their opponents scored the game-winner three minutes from normal time.
Trending
The visitors sit 15th in the table and are just two points above their midweek opponents, a gap they will be looking to widen on Tuesday.
