Manchester City is set to face Luton in the Premier League on Saturday. As both teams prepare for this highly anticipated match, there are several key statistics that should be considered.
Luton has a poor record against Manchester City on the road, having lost all nine of their previous encounters with a combined score of 27-2. However, Manchester City has been in impressive form at home, winning their last four league games with an aggregate score of 12-1. Their last meeting against Luton in the top-flight ended in a 4-0 victory.
Despite struggling away from home, Luton has been successful in scoring goals from set-pieces this season, with 14 excluding penalties. Only Arsenal and Everton have scored more goals from set-pieces in the Premier League. On the other hand, Manchester City has only conceded two such goals this season, which is the fewest in the league.
Two players who have been instrumental in Manchester City’s success this season are Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne. Foden has been exceptional, scoring nine goals in his last nine Premier League games and is currently on track for his best campaign yet with 14 goals this season. De Bruyne has also had a standout performance so far, contributing to nine goals in just 11 appearances this season and has an impressive goal or assist rate of one every 75 minutes among players with at least 500 minutes played.
Overall, both teams will need to perform at their best if they want to come out victorious on Saturday afternoon.
