Luton Town would be keen to celebrate their first ever point in the Premier League with a win when they face Exeter City. This Carabao Cup third round match will be played at the St. James Park in Exeter on Tuesday. The hosts started in the first round of this competition, with a 2-1 win over Crawley Town. They then needed penalties to go past Stevenage in the second round after it ended 1-1 at full-time. Exeter have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, but the more damning results have come in the last two. They were beaten 9-0 by Reading in the EFL Trophy before losing 3-0 to Oxford United in the League One competition. This four-game phase has erased what has been an impressive start otherwise, as Exeter have lost just one of their first eight competitive matches in the season.

Luton are coming off a historic 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers that marked their first-ever point in the Premier League. The Hatters have been finding it difficult to adjust in the top-flight, losing four of their first five matches. Yet, the visitors will look to build up on that result to improve their season. They are searching for a fourth-round appearance in the Carabao Cup for the first time since 2007-08, so there’s likely to be a fully motivated side on the park. They have last faced Exeter in the 2018 season, and have won five of their last seven matches against them drawing the other two.
