Recent home/away form

Manchester City

Manchester City have been in excellent form at home, with their latest results showing a strong run of four consecutive wins before a draw against Arsenal. Their home form has been a key factor in their current third position in the league, having amassed 70 points from 31 games. City have been prolific in front of goal, scoring 13 goals in their last six home matches, averaging 2.17 goals per game. They have also been solid defensively, conceding just three goals in the same period, keeping three clean sheets. The team's goal difference of 10 highlights their dominance. However, their games have been evenly split between high-scoring affairs and more closely contested matches, with 50% of their games seeing both teams score and the other 50% having under 2.5 goals. A particularly impressive result was their 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in their most recent home game.

Luton Town

Luton's away form has been poor, with the team currently on a run of four consecutive defeats. In their last six away games, they have failed to secure a single victory, drawing twice and losing four times.

Luton's defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed, conceding an average of 2.83 goals per game, while scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game. The team's total goals average of 4.5 suggests that their away matches have been entertaining for neutral fans, with 67% of the games featuring over 2.5 goals.
