Luton Town and Queens Park Rangers face off in the Championship on Friday evening, both still seeking their first league win of the season.
The two teams, currently positioned 19th and 23rd in the standings, meet for the second time in three days following their EFL Cup second-round clash.
The Hatters start to the season has been particularly disappointing. After dropping from the Premier League, there are high expectations for them to perform well at this level. They have yet to secure a win in four matches across all competitions and haven't celebrated a competitive victory since April, including the end of last season.
QPR's only defeat so far came on the opening day against West Brom at Loftus Road. Since then, they have drawn their last three matches in all competitions.
