Manchester City and Luton are set to face off in the Premier League on Saturday, with a number of key statistics and facts to consider. Firstly, Man City has a strong record against Luton at home, having won their last four league games with an aggregate score of 12-1. In fact, their last match against Luton in the top-flight ended in a 4-0 victory back in February 1992.
On the other hand, Luton have not been successful in away matches against reigning top-flight champions, losing all nine of their last encounters by a combined score of 27-2. Despite this, Manchester City’s unbeaten streak at home is impressive, with 40 consecutive games without a loss. They are just two games away from equaling their all-time club record of 42 set between 1919 and 1921.
When it comes to set-piece goals, Luton has been impressive this season, scoring 14 excluding penalties. Only Arsenal and Everton have scored more goals from set-pieces in the Premier League. However, Manchester City has only conceded two such goals, the fewest in the league.
In terms of individual performances, Phil Foden has been in excellent form this season, scoring nine goals in his last nine Premier League games. With 14 goals this season alone, he is on track for his best scoring campaign yet. Kevin De Bruyne has also been a standout player for Man City so far this season, contributing to nine goals in just 11 appearances. His goal or assist rate of one every 75 minutes is the best in the league among players with at least 500 minutes played.
