Manchester City dropped down to fourth in the Premier League after Wednesday's chastening 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa.
Pep Guardiola's suspension and injury-hit side were comprehensively outplayed by Unai Emery's men and are now falling well behind leaders Arsenal.
If the reigning champions fail to win at Kenilworth Road it will represent their worst top-flight run since Mark Hughes' tenure in 2009.
Luton were pegged back to a last-gasp draw against Liverpool in November and Arsenal needed a stoppage-time winner to prevail 4-3 against them in midweek. Despite dropping back into the relegation zone after Everton's win over Newcastle, Rob Edwards' side have every right to fancy their chances against Guardiola's off-colour team.

Luton vs Man City prediction
Luton's capacity to cause damage in transition, use pace in behind high defensive lines and their 3-4-3 set-up all feel like red flags for a City team that will enter a white-hot Kenilworth Road atmosphere under pressure to turn their slump around.
Expect Guardiola's side to suffer a few dicey moments, but the returns of Rodri and Grealish and the knock-on effect of John Stones, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden being able to revert to positions in which they have thrived lately feels like it should be key.
After weathering an early storm, City should start to look a little bit more like the treble-winning version and their superior quality will tell.
Prediction: Luton 1-3 Man City
