Luton vs Spurs Prediction
In their last outing, Luton Town lost 2-1 at home to Burnley. These are the games Luton needs to be winning if they are to have the slightest chance of staying up.
What would have made the loss all the more disappointing for Rob Edwards is that the Hatters had just started to get a mini run going. In their two matches before the defeat, the Hatters had won 2-1 away at Everton and drew 1-1 at home to Wolves.
As Tottenham, they are in a good place. Despite all the controversy surrounding their 2-1 win over Liverpool last Saturday, it was still a great win for Ange Postecoglou's team.
Spurs now sit second in the Premier League, just 1 point behind Manchester City. A win over Luton will see Spurs go top, and with City and Arsenal meeting tomorrow, victory would see
Spurs make ground on at least one of their main rivals.
Assuming they don't blow it. This should be a comfortable win for Tottenham.

Luton vs Spurs Betting Tips
Spurs over 2.5 Cards @ 23/20
Tottenham have collected over 3 or more cards in six out of their seven matches this season. This suggests they are learning the dark arts under Postecoglou, and maybe this is contributing towards their improved form.
A win over Luton may not require such measures, but at 23/20 it's well worth a shot.
Spurs win and over 2.5 goals @ 10/11
A win for Spurs looks the obvious bet and with the amount of shots they are having, and the fact that Luton has also scored in five of their seven Premier League matches, over 2.5 goals also looks worth the risk. Near even money for this bet looks like good value.
