Given that 40 points and 16 places separated the two sides last season, not many would have predicted Luton Town to hold an advantage over Brentford after eight matches.

The Bees were beaten play-off finalists, whilst the Hatters needed a final-day victory over Blackburn to secure their Championship status after a great escape by returning manger Nathan Jones.

And Jones' Luton side have continued where they left off last term, taking 13 points from a possible 24 games, which has puts them just three adrift of the automatic promotion places.

The hosts were frustrated to not beat 10-man Nottingham Forest in midweek, especially knowing that a win would have been enough to climb into the top-six, but it's still been a fine start.

As for Brentford, they're still struggling for consistency following their play-off defeat to Fulham at Wembley - winning just three times in their opening eight fixtures.

Thomas Frank's men were the latest team to be on the receiving end of a late Norwich City goal in midweek - leaving the Bees 11th in the standings, already five points adrift of the automatic promotion spots.

This is shaping up to be a tasty contest, but what does Sky Sports pundit David Prutton think? He has predicted a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw a Kenilworth Road.

The Verdict Most would look at this and automatically think 'away victory'. The bookies agree - with Luton more than 3/1 to win the game, but that's not how I see it panning out. Brentford have already struggled at Kenilworth Road once in 2020, suffering a 2-1 defeat here back in February, and I expect another difficult afternoon, and I'm with Prutton here, but I predict 1-1.
