Queens Park Rangers will face Luton Town at the Loftus Road Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have turned their season around over the past month and are well on course to avoid the drop, having climbed up to 15th place in the league standings.
They beat Watford 3-1 on New Year's Day, heading into the break two goals up via efforts from Michael Frey and Jimmy Dunne before team captain Sam Field sealed the points in the second half.
Luton Town meanwhile have failed to perform in the second tier all season, with promotion looking more unlikely with every passing game. They began the new year the same way they ended 2024, losing 1-0 to Norwich City to register their first home defeat to the Canaries since 2007.
The Hatters now sit 20th in the table with 25 points from 25 matches. They are just three points above the drop zone and will be desperate to widen that gap on Monday.

Luton, on the other hand, are on a three-game losing streak and have won just two of their last 10 matches. They have been woeful on the road all season and could lose this one.
