Luton v Tottenham: Premier League – live

Luton boss Rob Edwards talks to TNT Sports. “We’ve had a difficult start but our performances have been really good … we had a real good go against Burnley … it showed we’ve moved forward a lot from last year … last year we played well against Burnley but only created one big opportunity … the other night we had a lot of good chances and played well … I don’t think we’ve got the points our performances have deserved … we want to try to get the points now.”

Luton make three changes to the team that went down 2-1 at home to Burnley on Tuesday evening. Mads Andersen, Reece Burke and Elijah Adebayo are in; Amari’i Bell is hamstrung, while Teden Mengi and Issa Kaboré drop to the bench, alongside Ross Barkley.

Tottenham Hotspur are unchanged from their win over Liverpool last Saturday. You might have heard about that one. Eric Dier, Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil return to the bench.

Luton Town: Kaminski, Burke, Lockyer, Andersen, Brown, Mpanzu, Nakamba, Doughty, Adebayo, Ogbene, Morris.
Subs: Barkley, Berry, Woodrow, Kabore, Chong, Mengi, Krul, Giles, Johnson.

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Richarlison, Son.
Subs: Skipp, Hojbjerg, Gil Salvatierra, Emerson, Dier, Lo Celso, Forster, Davies, Veliz.

Referee: John Brooks (Leicestershire).

Here’s what happened the last three times this fixture has been played.

• Luton Town 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur

• Luton Town 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur

• Luton Town 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur

OK, so those matches were played in March 1992, April 1991 and December 1989 respectively. But sequences are sequences are sequences, and this one is a state of affairs that surely can’t go on indefinitely. The additional fact that the seven Premier League matches involving Luton this season have produced 20 goals, and the fixtures featuring Spurs have brought 25, at a rate of 2.9 and 3.6 goals per game respectively, suggests we may be onto something here. Goals please! (Though to be fair, Luton would probably take another goalless draw and a precious point today; Spurs, desirous of going top for 28 hours at least, not so much.) Kick off is at 12.30pm BST. It’s on!
