Swansea City vs Luton Town prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2020-21

Swansea City slipped out of the playoff places on goal difference in midweek following their defeat to Middlesbrough.

That was the hosts’ first loss in four games and just their third in the league all season. They will be determined to bounce back with aplomb.

Luton Town claimed their first win in five games on Wednesday when they upset league leaders Norwich City 3-1.

They moved back into the top half with the result and can now focus their sights on the playoffs once again.

With attacking sensation Andre Ayew back to full fitness, the home side could end up taking home all three points.
