Luton Town and West Ham United will lock horns with each other in the Premier League this week. The match between Rob Edwards’s side and David Moyes’s team will be held at Kenilworth Road and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Friday.
Luton Town
Luton Town are playing in the Premier League this season after winning promotion from the Championship at the end of the last campaign. Luton beat Coventry City in the Championship playoff final and are now in the top flight of English football. This is the first time that they are playing in the Premier League.
Rob Edwards’s side kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion. It followed a 3-0 loss at the hands of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League. Luton will take on Gillingham at Kenilworth Road in EFL Cup Second Round South on Tuesday evening.
Luton will be determined to put on a good show for their fans in their first home game of the new Premier League season. It is going to be tough against the Hammers, and the players will have to be on it right from the first minute.
