BBC Three Counties commentators Geoff Doyle and Simon Oxley discuss Luton Town's Premier League fixture against Manchester United in the latest episode of Luton In The Prem.

United's poor form in recent weeks has raised questions as to whether Ten Hag is the right man for the job at Old Trafford.

"If Luton win this game, where does that leave Ten Hag?" said Doyle. "That must be playing on his mind and on the players' minds ahead of this game."

"Everyone around football will be focused on the United aspect and I think that will be a good thing for Luton in many ways," agreed Oxley.

"The pressure will be intense on United. If we were pundits from out of the Luton bubble we would be saying: 'If he loses to Luton he’ll have to go.' Andthat's how it will be viewed.

"We have more respect for what Luton do and what Luton are, but for the rest of the outer football world the phrase will be that he can’t survive losing to Luton - so there will be a big focus on the game once again."
