This is only the second meeting between Luton and Newcastle in any competition this century, with the Magpies winning 3-1 in an FA Cup third round tie in January 2018.
The last league meeting between Luton and Newcastle was in January 1993 in the second tier, a goalless draw. The Hatters haven’t scored in their last five league games against the Magpies since a 4-0 top-flight win in November 1987.
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League games against promoted sides (W9 D7) since a 2-1 home loss to Leeds in January 2021. They’ve won both such games this season by an aggregate score of 10-0.
Luton have only failed to score in one of their eight Premier League home games this season, a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham in October. The Hatters have dropped points from winning positions in three of their last four home league games, drawing 1-1 with Liverpool, and losing against Arsenal (3-4) and Man City (1-2).
Newcastle have won just one of their last 10 Premier League away games (D4 L5), though that was an 8-0 victory against newly promoted Sheffield United in September. They’ve lost their last three in a row on the road, last losing more consecutively in December/January in 2020-21 (5).
No side have scored more Premier League goals in the second half of games this season than Newcastle United (23), while Luton have conceded a league-high share 75% of their goals after half-time (24/32).
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has faced Luton Town once before in a league match as manager, a 1-1 draw in League Two as Bournemouth boss in January 2009, only his fourth ever league game in charge. At that time, Bournemouth were 23rd in League Two and Luton were 24th.
Elijah Adebayo is Luton’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with four goals, and is looking to become the first player to score in three consecutive top-flight games for the Hatters since Mick Harford in April 1992.
Newcastle’s Callum Wilson has been involved in eight goals in his last nine Premier League games against promoted sides (5 goals, 3 assists), only failing to score or assist a goal in that time against Brentford in November 2021.
With six goals and four assists, Anthony Gordon has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other Newcastle player this season. It’s also the first campaign in which he’s reached double figures for goal involvements in the competition.
