Newcastle United will look to revive their push for European qualification as they host Luton Town in the Premier League this weekend. This match will be played at the St. James’ Park in Newcastle upon Tyne on Saturday. Ahead of these fixtures, the hosts are 7th with 32 points from 22 matches while the visitors are 17th with 19 points from 21 games. Newcastle are three points behind sixth-placed West Ham but with the Hammers playing on Thursday, that gap could increase. The Magpies are coming off an impressive 3-1 away win over Aston Villa, which should rank higher considering how tough Villa Park has been for teams this season. That was Newcastle’s third win in four competitive matches as they look to revive their move up the points tally. However, they have been defeated in three of their last four home matches and that’s a hurdle they would like to cross here.

Luton are just a point above the bottom-three but recent form has given hope that they could avoid the drop. The Hatters have won three and drawn one of their last five league games, with only a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea being the exception. They are coming off a mighty impressive 4-0 win over Brighton which was their third competitive win in a row, considering their two consecutive FA Cup victories. Those two came on the road, where Luton have now picked up three wins and a draw from their last four competitive trips. That said, three defeats across their last five away league matches suggest they may perhaps struggle on this trip.
