Luton Townlook to revive themselves from a heartbreaking event at Vitality Stadium last week as they host Eddie Howe's Newcastle United in a fiestyPremier Leagueclash.
The Luton fans will be highly motivated before their clash against Newcastle as they'll be showing their complete support to Hatter's captain Tom Lockyer who unfortunately collapsed against Bournemouth. With the clash against Cherries postponed, Luton would want to win this match against Eddie Howe's men and stun Newcastle.
Newcastle, on the other hand, gave away a crucial one goal lead in the EFL Cup in the dying minutes as Chelsea found the equaliser eventually winning the game on penalties. With just the Premier League left to focus on, the Magpies would want to garner some momentum heading into the Christmas break.
