Liverpool will look to make a dent in the gap between them and the top of the Premier League when they visit struggling Luton on Sunday.

Luton Town vs Liverpool score prediction
Luton fans are still waiting to usher in their return to the Premier League with a win at Kenilworth Road, with their sole triumph coming away at Everton at the end of September. There'll be no lack of effort from Edwards' side but the gap in quality between the two squads is stark.
Liverpool have won four games on the trot in all competitions and unless they add to their league-leading tally of four red cards so far this season, there's little reason to suggest their excellent form will vanish during their trip to Bedfordshire.
Prediction: Luton Town 0-3 Liverpool
