Luton Town and Liverpool play each other for the first time since 2008 on Sunday, when the Reds travel to Kenilworth Road to face the best-performing of the three newly-promoted sides during the first 11 games of the season.
The Hatters started the weekend third-bottom ahead of fellow newcomers Burnley and Sheffield United, and a first home league win against one of the heavyweights of the top flight would be a scalp for Rob Edwards' underdogs and a timely boost for their attempt to survive in the Premier League.
Liverpool's win at Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup last 16 on Wednesday was their fourth successive victory in all competitions, including a 3-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest at Anfield last Sunday that sent them fourth.
They beat Luton 5-0 at home in an FA Cup replay in that game 15 years ago, and their only defeat in the last 10 editions of the fixture came at Kenilworth Road, where they lost 3-1 in 1991.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Luton vs Liverpool lineups, team news
Manager Jurgen Klopp expects midfielder Thiago Alcantara will be out until early 2024, which is also when Liverpool expect to have Andrew Robertson back following the fullback's shoulder surgery.
Stefan Bajcetic is training but not ready to return yet, and Klopp says Luis Diaz will decide whether to make himself available for selection, having taken a leave of absence following reports of his father being kidnapped in Colombia.
Liverpool projected lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas — Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch — Salah, Nunez, Jota
Luton defender Reece Burke missed their 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa last Sunday with a hamstring injury.
Mads Andersen, Amari'i Bell, Jordan Clark, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Dan Potts were also out, but Gabriel Osho could make a second successive start following his full Premier League debut at Villa Park.
Luton projected lineup (3-4-3, right to left): Kaminski (GK) – Mengi, Lockyer, Osho – Kabore, Barkley, Nakamba, Doughty – Brown, Morris, Ogbene
Luton vs Liverpool prediction, odds
Liverpool's status as short favourites is justified given these clubs' fortunes so far, but Luton — the first of the promoted teams to play them this season — might take some confidence from the visitors' struggles against the clubs to have come up in 2022/23.
Klopp's team took only one point from three away games against those teams, salvaging a draw from 2-0 behind against Fulham on the opening day of the campaign.
Prediction: Luton 0-1 Liverpool
