Brighton are enjoying one of the most remarkable periods in their history, and manager Roberto De Zerbi is a big reason for that. The Italian gaffer has transformed the Seagulls from a pragmatic side into one that is expansive and produces free-flowing attacks, and they’ll certainly fancy their chances against Luton.
That could be a lot tougher than expected, though, with the Hatters’ fairy tale story set to continue in the Premier League. Many are tipping Luton to be relegated at the first time of asking – something they’ll be eager to prove wrong come May.
Kick-off is at 3pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.
Team news
Brighton could be without Moises Caicedo for the game against Luton, with Robert De Zerbi claiming he is suffering from a hamstring problem amid strong links with a transfer to Chelsea. Jakub Moder still hasn’t returned to the team either, after last season’s knee injury.
Reece Burke and Gabriel Osho are set to miss the game for Luton, meanwhile, with Rob Edwards suggesting they still need a few more weeks to get back to full fitness. Dan Potts and Jordan Clarke are also in the same situation, albeit with a shorter recovery time expected, while Mads Andersen is getting over an illness.
Form
Brighton are preparing for their first season of European football in their history, and are looking (somehow) to build upon their exceptional sixth-place finish in the Premier League last term.
Luton Town are back in the top tier of English football after dropping down to the National League 14 years ago and climbing their way back, and are looking to enjoy every minute of their return.

David Coote will be the referee for Brighton vs Luton. His assistants will be Mark Scholes and Timothy Wood, with John Busby the fourth official. Robert Jones is the VAR, with Wade Smith the assistant VAR.

VPN guide
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
