Luton Town and West Bromwich Albion get the ball rolling in round 13 of the EFL Championship when they square off at Kenilworth Road on Friday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since January 2023, when the Baggies picked up a thrilling 3-2 victory.
Luton Town continue to struggle for results at the bottom end of the Championship table as they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Coventry City at the Coventry Building Society Arena last Saturday.
The Hatters have now failed to win five of their last six matches — losing four and claiming one draw — with a 3-0 victory over Watford on October 19 being the exception.
Having suffered relegation from the Premier League last season, Luton Town have picked up just 11 points from their 12 Championship matches so far to sit 22nd in the league table.

The Baggies have played out four straight stalemates since losing back-to-back games against Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough a little over one month ago.
For all their recent struggles, West Bromwich Albion sit fifth in the Championship table and could move level on 23 points with second-placed Burnley with a win this weekend.
