Fulham enter the contest on the back of a 5-1 thrashing by reigning champions Manchester City and Marco Silva's side would be looking to turn around their fortunes when they lock horns with a newly promoted side. Fulham have just four points in their opening four games with a win, a draw, and two losses derailing their start to the season.
Despite their issues, Fulham boast of a scinitllating record against the visitors as they haven't lost against Luton since 1998. A 7-0 thrashing back in 2022 by the hosts would serve as a major source of confidence as they prepare to host Luton at home.
Newly promoted Luton Town have had a shaky start to life at England's premier division. Luton are currently in the 19th spot in the table with only goal difference separating them and Burnley as both sides have lost their opening three clashes.
Despite the losses, Luton Town have faced some difficult oppositions in their inaugural days in the Premier League and they could have an opportunity to upset Fulham at their home. The Hatters managed to win their EFL Cup tie against Gillingham and would want to replicate their performances from that outing at Craven Cottage.
