Tottenham Hotspur head to newly-promoted Luton Town for Saturday's lunchtime kickoff, with a chance to briefly go top of the table with three points. Whatever the VAR drama surrounding the result, Spurs' victory against Liverpool last weekend further validated Spurs' upward trajectory under new boss Ange Postecoglou.
Consistency has long been an issue for Spurs, but the Liverpool result made it five wins and two draws from seven Premier League outings. And they will be the heavy favourites to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign here.
Luton Town, meanwhile, have been in rotten form so far this season, and as expected, are struggling to cope with the rigours of Premier League football. The Kenilworth Road faithful had reason for optimism after Rob Edwards' side finally got their top-flight campaign up and running by beating Everton away from home.
However, their survival hopes came crumbling down on Tuesday when they were defeated at home by fellow strugglers Burnley, and they must dust themselves down to face one of the most in-form teams in the country.
