We say: Luton Town 2-1 Preston North End

 We think that Luton will begin life under their new boss with a win this weekend, as they come up against a Preston team that have not performed on their travels so far this season. A win here would provide a big boost for the Hatters, as they look to steer themselves away from the drop zone in the Championship, and we think they will continue to lean on their good home form with another win here.
