Blackburn are on an impressive run of five straight victories and are fifth in the Championship, seven points off the automatic promotion spots with a game in hand.
Luton are 15th and five points above the drop zone but have won just once away from home this season (D1 L7) and conceded 15 goals in their past four games on the road.
Blackburn Rovers have won just one of their past 11 league games against Luton Town (D4 L6), a 1-0 victory in January 2021 courtesy of an Adam Armstrong strike.
Luton have lost just one of their past five away league games against Blackburn (W2 D2), having lost five of their previous six league trips there (D1).
Blackburn have won six of their nine league games at Ewood Park so far this season (D1 L2); since 2001-02 Rovers have only won at least seven of their first 10 such games to begin a campaign, doing so in 2022-23 (8).
