JAKARTA - Separated by 15 ranks and 13 points in the early Premier League standings, Luton Town will host Tottenham Hotspur at Kenilworth Road Stadium, Saturday 7 October. The guests can climb to the top of the standings if they win this match.

Previously, Luton Town had just lost 2-1 to Burnley in the middle of this week. Meanwhile Tottenham Hotspur beat Liverpool with the same score thanks to a VAR controversy that went viral.

Luton Town, handled by Rob Edwards, has won their first Premier League win in an away game against Everton last weekend. However, they accepted defeat against Burnley. Nevertheless, Edwards remains optimistic about his team's slick performance in the second half.

Currently, Luton Town is in 17th position in the standings, just above Burnley thanks to a better goal difference. Despite just three home games, Luton had to work hard to win. Their defense has not performed solidly, and new injuries in the back row did not give that confidence.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur are in second place in the Premier League standings, only one point adrift of Manchester City. Although it is not yet clear whether they are serious candidates to win the title this season, Spurs have shown impressive performance under the control of Ange Postecoglou's manager.

The match against Liverpool ended 2-1, where Tottenham had a controversial red card. However, they have scored at least two goals in each Premier League game this season. Joel Matip scored an own goal in stoppage time, sparking controversy over VAR.

Luton Town could not cope with the injuries on their back lines, while Tottenham will be present without Solomon's knee injury. Even so, they still have key players like Son Heung-min and Richarlison playing impressively.

This match is the first meeting between Luton Town and Tottenham Hotspur in a long time. Both teams will try to win to achieve their targets in navigating the tight Premier League.

Player Forecast:

Luton Town: Kaminski; Kabore, Burke, Lockyer, Mengi, Doughty; Nakamba, Mpanzu; Ogbene, Adebayo; Morris

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Richarlison; Son
