Luton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (27 February)

For its entry into this FA Cup, Luton Town struggled to dismiss Bolton 1-2 after a replay. In the previous round, the club managed to win against Everton 1-2. Back in the elite this season, the promoted team is currently 18th in the Premier League and, with 1 game less, is 1 point behind the first non-relegation team. Ross Barkley's teammates are therefore fully engaged in the fight not to go down. They lost their last 3 championship matches played against the red lantern Sheffield United 1-3, Manchester United 1-2 and Liverpool 4-1. Holder of this FA Cup title, Manchester City is logically considered one of the great favorites to his own succession and has so far claimed the scalp of Huddersfield 5-0 and Tottenham 0-1.

In the league, the Cityzens are now in 2nd place in the Premier League, 1 point behind Liverpool. They seem unstoppable at the moment and have not conceded a single setback in the last 11 days, 9 wins and 2 draws. Held in check at home by Chelsea 1-1, Manchester City has since resumed its march forward with short successes against Brentford 1-0 and Bournemouth last weekend 0-1. In the Champions League, the Skyblues won their round of 16 first leg played in Copenhagen 1-3.

The Luton Town coach still records the withdrawals of important striker Adebayo, captain Lockyer, substitute Brown and potential starters Andersen (defender) and Nakamba (midfielder). Recruited this winter, Japanese defender Hisioka has not yet played in his new colors and remains uncertain this week. In the absence of Adebayo (9 goals in the PL), Carlton Morris (7 goals and 4 assists in the PL) constitutes the main offensive asset of this formation. In the midfield, former Niçois Ross Barkley takes his place. Manchester City remains without Croatian defender Gvardiol, injured.

However, this is the only absence to report for the Skyblues since winger Grealish returned to the group last weekend, without coming into play. The very influential Foden (9 goals and 7 assists in PL) scored the winning goal in the last championship match. He applies this Wednesday just like the inevitable Haaland (17 goals and 5 assists in the PL). Substitutes against Bournemouth, De Bruyne, Doku and Julian Alvarez could this time be lined up from the start.
