The EFL Championship returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Stoke City and Luton Town square off at the bet365 Stadium on Tuesday. The Hatters have won their last two away matches and will aim to keep the juggernaut rolling as they look to salvage their season.
Stoke City failed to pull clear of the Championship danger zone as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Preston North End at the Deepdale Stadium last weekend.
With that result, the Potters have failed to taste victory in five consecutive away games — claiming one point from a possible 15 — a run that has put their league status under threat.
Stoke City have picked up 43 points from their 40 Championship matches so far to sit 20th in the league standings, two points above the dreaded bottom three.

Elsewhere, Luton Town continued their late push for survival as they held on for a 1-1 draw against title-chasing Leeds United at Kenilworth Road last time out.
The Hatters have gone four back-to-back games without defeat — claiming two wins and two draws — having managed just one win from the 15 matches preceding this run.
With 39 points from 40 matches, Luton Town are currently 23rd in the Championship table, two points behind 21st-placed Derby County just outside the relegation zone.
