Liverpool takes on new Premier League opponent. Luton Town in the Premier League on Sunday, so we ran a simulation to see how it might go.
On Sunday, Liverpool will visit Kenilworth Road in the Premier League to play Luton Town for the first time since 2008.
Liverpool defeated Bournemouth 2-1 on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez. The victory guaranteed the Reds a trip to the competition’s quarterfinals, where they will face Luton. If the Reds win on Sunday, it would be their sixth straight victory across all competitions, and three points would also keep them in the running for the Premier League crown.
With four losses in a row, Luton is presently 18th in the standings with five points. When Liverpool and Luton last faced off in the FA Cup fifteen years ago, the Reds prevailed 5-0.
Can Liverpool win a crucial three points on Sunday, then? Let’s examine this.
To anticipate the score for Luton Town vs. Liverpool, we ran a simulation.
We utilised EA FC 24 to finish the simulation, updating the squads with the most recent suspensions and injuries.
Our prediction is that the hosts will line up as follows in a 3-5-2 formation: Morris, Ogbene; Kabore, Mpanzu, Barkley, Nakamba, Doughty; Mengi, Lockyer, Osho; Kaminski.
The starting lineup for Liverpool, according to our predictions, would be as follows: Alisson; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Jota; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas.
Liverpool had a fantastic start, creating numerous opportunities in the first fifteen minutes as Thomas Kaminski made some outstanding stops to maintain the score at one. Liverpool persisted in their efforts, and in the 36th minute, they finally broke through.
Nunez was passed through one-on-one, and the keeper palmed the striker’s strong shot away from the goal and out for a corner. Diogo Jota was the recipient of a precise cross from Dominik Szoboszlai, and he rose highest to flick the ball into the far corner.
Luton only mustered one shot in the first half compared to 14 for Liverpool, who also held 76% of the possession. Alexis Mac Allister doubled the advantage just before halftime, proving that the Reds’ perseverance had paid off.
In order to generate space for a shot, Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch played a one-two just outside the Luton box as Liverpool calmly waited for an opening to present itself. The Argentine did not back down and sent a long-range strike into the bottom corner to make it 2-0 at the half.
With a commanding advantage, the Reds played a polished second half to finish off the three points.
Final result projected by EA FC 24: Luton Town 0–2 Liverpool
