Newcastle, meanwhile, are seventh in the table, recovering from two three-goal defeats to Tottenham and Everton by handing one out themselves against Fulham last time out. Eddie Howe’s Magpies have been displaced by West Ham’s victory over Manchester United in their corresponding fixture, but three points at Kenilworth Road will take the Toon back into sixth place, and just a point behind Spurs in fifth.

18th-placed Luton come into this game a week on from their last match, away at Bournemouth, being abandoned after Hatters captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch. Rob Edwards’ side are five points behind Nottingham Forest on the wrong side of the trapdoor, and need to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later if they’re to avoid being cut adrift.
