Manchester United visit Luton Town and Kenilworth Road in the Premier League as Erik ten Hag’s side look to build on their resurgent form and continue a top-four push.
United have won three in a row in the Premier League, including an impressive away win at Aston Villa last weekend, and could close the gap on Tottenham to three points following their defeat to Wolves on Saturday.
But, apart from suffering a setback against Sheffield United last time out, Luton have performed well at home this season and Rob Edwards’s side pushed their visitors close in the reverse fixture in November.
United will know that they have to keep their winning run going if they are to push for the Champions League places over the second half of the season.

45+2 mins: Should be level! Another great chance for Luton as Doughty comes off his left flank superbly. His right-footed strike has the beating of Onana but drifts just wide.
Now there’s a change for United. Shaw was passed fit to start this game but makes way before the break. Lindelof replaces him.
45 mins: There will be four minutes of added time to end this first half.
44 mins: Doughty lines up the effort on the edge of the box but his effort comes back off the wall.
42 mins: After such a fast start United are all over the pace now. Barkley surges forward on the break and feeds Morris. The striker skips past Maguire but is brought down by the centre-back who is shown a yellow card.
39 mins: Casemiro is one lucky boy. It’s a late challenge on Morris from the Brazilian who has already been booked.
Referee David Coote blows for the free-kick but opts against showing the midfielder a second yellow. The home fans are not happy with that decision.
37 mins: WIDE! Oh so close to a second for Morris as his shot drifts wide from the edge of the box. How the hosts would love an equaliser before the break.
34 mins: Casemiro is the latest to be shown a yellow after he checks the surging run of Bell.
31 mins: Sloppy from Lindelof as he gifts the ball to Barkley in the final third. He slides through Woodrow but the former Fulham man sees his effort deflected behind for a corner.
Osho heads over from the set piece.
30 mins: Since that Morris goal in the 14th minute, United have failed to register a shot on target. A really impressive fightback from the home side.
28 mins: A great chance for United on the break as Fernandes surges through the middle of the pitch but it’s an uncharacteristically poor pass from the captain which sends Garnacho way wider than he would have liked.
Luton get back well and the attack breaks down.
