Crystal Palace currently sit 14th in the Premier League after 27 games. The Eagles have seven wins, seven draws and 13 losses, leaving Palace on 28 points, only eight points above the relegation zone.

The Eagles have struggled in front of goal this season, scoring only 32 goals in 27 games, giving them an average of 1.19 goals a game. Palace have been a bit better defensively, conceding 47 goals and keeping six clean sheets.

Luton sit just below Crystal Palace in 18th in the Premier League. In 26 games, The Hatters have five wins, five draws and 16 losses which leaves them on 20 points, four points from safety.

The Hatters have been better in front of goal in comparison to their league placement. In 26 games, Luton have scored 37 goals giving them an average of 1.42 goals a game. However, at the other end of the pitch, Luton have conceded 54 goals and have kept two clean sheets.

Crystal Palace and Luton have met 58 times in their histories, with the first meeting coming back in 1920. The Eagles have the better record in the fixture with 23 wins in comparison to The Hatters’ 19 wins, the other 16 games ending in a draw.
