Luton Town will host Sheffield Wednesday at Kenilworth Road on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a largely underwhelming return to the English second tier and now find themselves 19th in the league standings with just four points from five matches.
They picked up their first win of the season last time out, beating Millwall 1-0 at The Den with former Manchester United youngster Tenden Mengi scoring the sole goal of the game in stunning fashion just 10 minutes after kick-off.
Meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday kicked off their league campaign with a 4-0 thrashing of Plymouth Argyle but have struggled for results since then. They played out a 1-1 draw against Queens Park Rangers in their last league outing and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points following Barry Bannan's opener in additional time before their opponents leveled the scores at the death.
The visitors sit 20th in the Championship table. They are level on points with their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Saturday.
