Luton Town
The team spent the 2023/24 season in the English Premier League but failed to secure their place, resulting in relegation to the Championship. The start of this season has been disastrous for Luton. In the first round, they suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat against Burnley. The following two rounds saw a 0-0 draw and another loss, 0-1, to Preston.
This week, Luton also played against QPR in the EFL Cup, where they suffered another defeat. QPR advanced to the next round after a penalty shootout. In total, Luton has played four official matches this season, losing three and drawing one. As for their league standing, Luton is currently second to last in the table, with just one point.
Queens Park Rangers
Last season, QPR finished 16th in the Championship, narrowly avoiding relegation by six points. The current season has also started inconsistently for QPR. In the first round, they lost 1-3 at home to West Bromwich. The next two matches ended in draws, 2-2 and 1-1.
However, they have had better results in the EFL Cup, where they defeated Cambridge United 2-1 in the first round and then overcame Luton Town in a penalty shootout in their latest match. In five official matches this season, QPR has won twice, drawn twice, and lost once. Currently, they sit in 19th place in the table with two points.
