Luton Town and Burnley lock horns in the EFL Championship on Saturday

Luton Town and Burnley go head-to-head at the Kenilworth Road Stadium in round 33 of the EFL Championship on Saturday.

Burnley were denied an 11th consecutive league victory last time out and will be looking to quickly return to winning ways.

Luton Town failed to find their feet as they were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Preston North End.

Prior to that, the Hatters suffered a 3-0 FA Cup loss against Grimsby Town on February 7 which saw their five-game unbeaten run come to an end, before playing out a 1-1 draw with Coventry City.

Luton are currently fourth in the EFL Championship table after picking up 50 points from 31 matches.

Meanwhile, Burnley were left spitting feathers last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Watford on home soil.

Prior to that, Vincent Kompany's side were on a blistering run of 10 consecutive league victories, dating back to November's 5-2 loss at Sheffield United.

With 69 points from 31 matches, Burnley currently sit at the top of the EFL Championship table with a healthy eight-point lead over second-placed Sheffield United.
