The Cherries look to add to their away wins at Luton Town

Bournemouth will be looking to keep their winning run going away to Luton Town on Saturday. That Hatters sit in mid-table, in 13th place, after an equal amount of wins and defeats and a goal difference of minus four. They are not a high-scoring side having netted 17 times in their 19 games, but they scored three times in their last home match.

AFCB take on Luton again as they did earlier this
year in the FA Cup. This time it's the league and it's at Kenilworth Road.

Coached by Nathan Jones, Luton Town finished 19th last season and they have an opportunity to improve on that this time around. Their main goal threat comes from James Collins who scored a hat-trick in the last home match against Preston North End. He has nine goals so far this season and if Bournemouth can keep him quiet there aren't many goals coming from other places in this Luton side. Collins was unfortunate in their last away match against Middlesbrough in seeing his penalty kick ruled out for a double kick, which would otherwise have got Luton a draw.

Bournemouth fans will remember Harry Cornick who is in the Luton side. Cornick hasn't scored yet this season but started in their last match before being subbed on 75 minutes. Former West Ham player George Moncur adds a bit of grit in the Hatter's midfield. Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu is another former West Ham player, who is likely to start in midfield, as well as Dean Potts who is the left-back. So it does have a bit of the feel of a West Ham reserves versus AFCB game.

Luton move into Tier 3 from Saturday, so they won't have any supporters at this game. Looking at their home record that won't trouble Luton much having been unbeaten in their last four home games and winning two of them. Those wins were against Norwich City and Preston North End so they are in form at home.
