Recent respective form guides
Luton Town could not have a worse home record, losing every single one of the last six matches played! While The Hatters have scored 6, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.
Sunderland's away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the The Black Cats, and 7 goals against.
Luton Town find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 45 games have yielded only 40 points. Sunderland are holding the final promotion place in the Coca-Cola Championship, and have accumulated 85 points from the 45 games they have played so far.
