Sky Sports EFL pundit David Prutton has issued his verdict on Fulham's next game at Craven Cottage, against Graeme Jones's Luton Town on Wednesday evening.

Scott Parker's side will be looking to bounce back after the disappointing defeat away to bottom club Stoke City on Saturday, which saw the Lilywhites drop down to 10th position in the Championship. It was also the first league match in which Fulham failed to score.

It was Fulham's first defeat in the league since the 24th August, and there will be no time to mull over the performance as the games are now coming thick and fast.

The Cottagers face another revitalised side in Luton, who claimed an impressive 3-0 win at home to Bristol City on the weekend, and they will be looking to pick up where they left off at Kenilworth Road. Graeme Jones's side have only lost once in their last four league games.

Writing on the Sky Sports Website, Prutton provided his verdict on Wednesday's game, stating that he believes it will be a routine 2-0 win for the hosts.

He said: "Fulham dominated possession against Stoke on Saturday but they had fewer shots and shots on target. At this point you have to wonder if Scott Parker is getting the most out of an extremely talented squad."

"Luton got a good win at the weekend and look to be doing enough right now to survive in this division, which would be massive for them after so long away from this level. Home win for me."

A win for Fulham will push Scott Parker's side back into the play-off mix, and will show to the rest of the division that his side can bounce back from disappointment, showing a strong mentality.

For the Hatters, back to back wins would push them clear of the relegation mix and put them firmly in reach of the top ten.

The Verdict

If form and results so far in the division are anything to go by, Prutton is correct in his prediction. Fulham have only lost at Craven Cottage once so far this season, which makes this a tough ask for Graeme Jones's side.

Luton have also picked up just six points on their travels so far, with wins against Blackburn and Barnsley respectively, so the odds are stacked against the away side for this one.

This will be the first meeting between the sides in almost 20 years - The Hatters last came up against Fulham back in 1999, losing 3-0 to the West Londoners in a FA Cup 3rd round replay.
