Two people will be nervously awaiting Luton Town v Hull City

Luton Town have a chance to get themselves back on track this weekend, when they face Hull City.

The Hatters have endured a fairly torrid start to the 2024/25 campaign, which was unexpected considering the quality they have in their squad and the fact they were only relegated from the Premier League earlier this year.

They may have lost former key man Ross Barkley, but with the squad they have, they should be fighting at the top end of the table.

Unfortunately, they are much closer to the bottom of the Championship at this point, and their 5-1 defeat at Middlesbrough before the international break gave the Hatters’ board plenty to think about.

At this point, they have stuck with head coach Rob Edwards, but it remains to be seen whether he will still be at the club if he doesn’t secure a positive result on Saturday against the Tigers.

Hull are another side that are struggling, with Tim Walter failing to establish himself as a success at the MKM Stadium thus far.

After a 2-1 home defeat against West Bromwich Albion just before the international break, that could have been curtains for the former Hamburg boss, but he’s another manager who has managed to cling on to his job.

A positive result at Kenilworth Road will be required though – because he will only be able to continue for so long if he doesn’t manage to get wins on the board.

With the players he has at his disposal, Edwards knows he needs to be doing a lot better than he currently is.

It’s fair to say that the injury/suspension crisis they had at centre-back didn’t help their cause, but even with this, they should have been able to get some more positive results out of a number of their games.
