BBC Three Counties Radio's Simon Oxley has been speaking about Sunday's match against Liverpool on the Luton in the Prem podcast: "There's always an occasion where Liverpool are having an absolute nightmare and end up on the wrong end of a shock. That has diminished this season, although they have looked fragile in defence at times. Virgil van Dijk probably is not the player he was a few years ago.

"I was reading comments online about this game being another one like Aston Villa where Luton just sit back and wait and see what happens. I am not sure how the crowd would react to that. I just wonder whether people would take that on a Sunday afternoon. I think we just need to show a bit more.

"Also, I think there will be some changes. I think Tahith Chong did enough to get the nod ahead of Isaiah Brown. That midfield area is interesting. Marvelous Nakamba will play, and one would assume Ross Barkley will play because he has now got 90 minutes under his belt."

Geoff Doyle also highlighted Liverpool's full backs as an area for Luton to exploit: "Chiedozie Ogbene could be interesting as Luton may target Kostas Tsimikas or Trent Alexander Arnold if he bombs on. They could position Ogbenne on the left to exploit the space there."
