We simulated Luton Town vs Manchester United to get a score prediction with late drama

A first-ever Premier League visit to Kenilworth Road awaits Manchester United on Sunday as Erik ten Hag looks to continue his unbeaten start to 2024 against Luton Town.

A late Scott McTominay goal secured a huge 2-1 win away to Aston Villa in United's last outing, with the victory moving Ten Hag's side just six points behind the top four in the Premier League. It was the fourth consecutive win in all competition for United, and they will be looking to make that five against Luton on Sunday.

Victor Lindelof scored the only goal of the game as United narrowly beat the Hatters in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford earlier this season. Just two defeats in their last seven has seen Luton move out of the relegation zone, but their confidence would've taken a hit after their 3-1 defeat at home to Sheffield United last weekend.

So, can United pick up a big three points this weekend? Let's take a look.

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that the hosts could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Kaminski; Mengi, Osho, Bell; Ogbene, Sambi Lokonga, Barkley, Doughty; Townsend, Morris; Adebayo.

We predict that United could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Shaw; Casemiro, Mainoo, Fernandes; Garnacho, Hojlund, Rashford.

United started on top at Kenilworth Road, with Rasmus Hojlund almost continuing his impressive goalscoring form when he struck the bar from close range after latching onto Alejandro Garnacho's driven cross into the box. Despite not scoring in the first half, United were the most threatening, and not long after the restart, they found the opener.
