The Clarets know they must realistically claim three points if they’re to stand any chance of avoiding relegation when they take on a Hatters side that sit four points ahead of them in the table, albeit still in the bottom three.
Jordan Beyer, Hjalmar Ekdal, Charlie Taylor and Lyle Foster are all doubts for the game, but Vincent Kompany opted to keep his cards close to his chest when asked about their availability during yesterday’s press conference.
With that in mind, here’s how we predict the Clarets might line up:
1. GK - James Trafford

2. RB - Vitinho
Will need to be more switched-on defensively as he was against Spurs, but generally speaking he's performed well in recent weeks. Photo: Alex Pantling
3. CB - Dara O'Shea

4. CB - Jordan Beyer
After Beyer picked up a knock against Villa, Kompany said he hoped to have the defender back for the Luton game. Let's hope that proves to be the case. Photo: Lewis Storey
