Prediction: Luton Town 1-3 Brentford
Luton's remarkable powers of recovery demonstrates that the Hatters are never to be counted out on home soil, especially given their affinity for scoring in the Premier League, while the Brentford back door is never normally bolted shut on the road. However, a ravaged Luton backline squaring up to a refreshed Toney is a mismatch on paper, and we back the rejuvenated Bees to once again edge closer to survival while harming the Hatters' prospects of consecutive seasons in the big time.
