27/02: Daily Predictions: Luton Town vs Manchester City

Betting Tips

When Manchester City visits Kenilworth Road in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Tuesday night, Luton Town will be looking to achieve one of their most historic victories. The hosts will be coming off a 4-1 setback at Liverpool in the Premier League last Wednesday, while Manchester City continued their title pursuit with a 1-0 victory against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Luton Town vs Manchester City

Manchester City, the FA Cup holders, will face fellow Premier League side Luton Town in the fifth round. City triumphed 1-0 against Bournemouth on Saturday, putting them just a point behind leaders Liverpool despite having played one more game. That win extended their unbeaten streak to 17 games, dating back to a loss at Aston Villa in early December.

Last season, they won the FA Cup for the first time since 2019. They are, however, extremely consistent, having failed to go beyond the semi-finals only once since 2016. The Citizens have won their last eight FA Cup matches. This season, they have won 5-0 at home against Huddersfield Town and 1-0 against Tottenham in round four.

Luton Town dropped back into the Premier League relegation zone over the weekend. The Hatters last played on February 21, losing 4-1 to Liverpool, their third consecutive league defeat. Their most recent success was a 4-0 home win over Brighton & Hove Albion, but they have subsequently gone four games without a win and conceded 13 goals.

They have won just one of their previous five home games. To go to the FA Cup fifth round, they defeated League One Bolton Wanderers in round three. They were held to a tie at home but won the away rematch.

Verdict

Manchester City can beat Luton Town to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals. They are in great form at present and even if resting some players should have too much for their opponents. Luton Town would probably prefer three league points at the weekend to a cup win as they battle relegation.

There could be a repeat of that result on Tuesday, with Luton continuing to prove hard to beat and City struggling to put teams to the sword.

The three goals scored by Luton against Arsenal earlier this week serve as a message to Manchester City about what Pep Guardiola and his team will face on Sunday.

While the Hatters have struggled to produce consistent results, they have scored in all but one of their previous seven league games, including matchups against Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Arsenal.

With recent performances against Aston Villa, RB Leipzig, and Tottenham Hotspur, City has already demonstrated a weakness against counter-attacking opponents this season, which should give Luton some encouragement.
