Luton will have home field advantage for the first time since returning to the Premier League this weekend. However, they will face a huge challenge, as they come up against a West Ham side that could move to the top of the standings before their rivals have the opportunity to respond.

Before Betting On Luton vs West Ham

A day that all Luton fans have been dreaming of finally arrives on Friday, as the club will play their first home match since returning to the English top flight. There will be pressure on the hosts, as their home form will likely prove decisive in their bid to remain in the Premier League this term. At present, they sit in the bottom three positions after losing each of their two matches this season.

Luton played well for long periods against Chelsea last Friday, but they failed to create much in the way of a scoring opportunity. They come into this fixture after allowing seven goals across their opening two matches, while they have found the back of the net on just one occasion. However, they are yet to register a goal from open play so far this term.

It has been an excellent start to the season for West Ham, as they currently sit second in the standings after avoiding defeat across their opening three matches of the season. The Hammers have won each of their previous two, which includes a fine display on the road against Brighton in their previous match.

James Ward-Prowse has quickly settled into life at the London Stadium, as the former Southampton skipper has scored once and registered two assists across his opening three matches for his new team. A third straight win will send the Hammers to the top of the Premier League standings on Friday.
