Luton vs Manchester United (Premier League): 16:30, Sunday 18th February 2024
Ahead of this vital Premier League clash, we’ve highlighted some important stats from previous meetings between the two sides.
Manchester United will be heavy favourites, but Luton could spring a surprise and will be confident at home.
Historically, this is one of the most one-sided matchups in English football, with United absolutely dominant.
- Luton and Manchester United have played each other 33 times in their history.
- United have won 25 of these, with Luton managing just two victories.
- There have been six draws between these sides, most recently a 1-1 First Division fixture in 1992.
- Luton have not beaten Manchester United since 1987, when they won 2-1 in the First Division.
- The only other time Luton have won this fixture was two years earlier in 1985, also a 2-1 win in the First Division.
- Luton have lost every single game at Old Trafford in their history, a total of 16 games, so will hope home advantage will benefit them this weekend.
Luton vs Manchester United Head To Head Record
Eric Ten Hag’s Manchester United go into the game as favourites. They were 1-0 winners at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture in November, their first league meeting since 1992.
United are currently sixth in the Premier League table on 41 points, five below fourth-placed Tottenham and the Champions League positions.
They have won their last three league matches, beating Aston Villa away from home last time out. United have not lost in 2024, last tasting defeat on 30 December at Nottingham Forest.
Luton meanwhile have defied pundits who claimed they would be relegated by Christmas. The Hatters are 17th in the league, one point above the drop zone but with a game in hand over those around them.
They will have been disappointed to lose 3-1 at home to bottom club Sheffield United last time out. But results like their 4-0 thrashing of Brighton show they have the quality to stay up.
The loss to the Blades is their only defeat since the new year, with them also beating Everton 2-1 away from home in the FA Cup fourth round.
United Have Been Completely Dominant Historically
In this fixture, Manchester United’s historic dominance is eye-catching. Having won 25 of 33 meetings between the pair, the record books show this has been a horrible fixture for Luton.
Out of every club Luton have played more than five times in their history, their record versus United is the worst.
Having won just 6.1% of meetings between the pair, there is nobody the Hatters have struggled against more historically. Their goal difference of -56 in this matchup is also their worst against anyone by far.
Luton’s next worst historic goal difference is -27 against Liverpool, having played the Reds on two more occasions.
Home Advantage Could Be Crucial For Luton
But while wins for Luton have been almost non-existent over the years, they have picked up a few draws against United.
With a record of 16 losses from 16 at Old Trafford, their home record is less one-sided. At Kenilworth Road, Luton have won two, drawn six and lost nine.
While still underdogs, home advantage has played a significant role in this fixture over the years, and could once again help Luton avoid defeat to Manchester United.
