Luton Town is away to Brighton in their first ever game in the Premiership. They are in tough as Brighton has proven to be an offensive force at home with a 6-0 result over Wolves, a 3-0 result over Liverpool and a 4-0 domination of Chelsea at Amex Stadium in Brighton. Brighton just has too much attacking power. Even with the loss of Mac Alllilster and pending loss of Caicedo, their pickups of Milner, Dahoud and Pedro is going to keep coach De Zerbi awash in attacking possibilities. Returnees Estupinan on the back line, Gross in the middle of the park and Welbeck up front should help stabilize recent arrivals.

Luton will not have centre backs Burke and Osho available as well as midfielders Clark and Potts. This should open space for Brighton’s attacking style. It should be noted that Brighton only lost 5 at home all last year and only 1 vs teams in the bottom of the table. Luton finished more than 10 points behind Championship leader Burnley and then only advanced after PKs in the qualifying game. Chances are they will be in the bottom half of the table.

Luton is likely to work to be difficult to break down but Brighton is just too strong attacking. Lay the points and take Brighton.
