Luton vs Tottenham LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today

Luton vs Tottenham LIVE!

Spurs look to continue their unbeaten start to the season and go into the international break on a high when they face Luton in the lunchtime-kick off.

Ange Postecoglou’s in-form side know victory will send them top of the Premier League, if only at least until Arsenal and Manchester City meet in their showdown at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. After last weekend’s controversial win against Liverpool, this is the start of a decent run of games for Tottenham as they bid to build on their fine start under Postecoglou.

They go in as favourites but Postecoglou expects a difficult afternoon against a physical Luton side that won at Everton last weekend. The newly-promoted side lost at home to Burnley on Tuesday but they are eyeing their first big scalp to really kick-start their season. With kick-off at 12.30pm BST, follow all the action at Kenilworth Road.

Luton vs Tottenham latest

Luton Town FC 0 – 0 Tottenham Hotspur FC

13:18 , Giuseppe Muro

45+2 mins: Another chance goes begging for Spurs in stoppage time as Maddison opens up his body and bends an effort over from inside the area.

13:16 , Giuseppe Muro

44 mins: Spurs win a corner but Luton clear. It looks like Luton are going to get to half-time at 0-0.

13:14 , Giuseppe Muro

41 mins: Both Morris and Lockyer took bangs to the head in that incident… and Luton are momentarily down to nine men! Spurs come forward but Luton clear.

13:11 , Giuseppe Muro

39 mins: Luton have the ball in the net. But the referee blows for a clear push on Romero. That’s the right call, but it shows Luton they have some success when they get the ball in the box.

13:10 , Giuseppe Muro

37 mins: Bissouma gets a yellow card for bringing down Ogbene. That’s his fifth booking of the season and means he will be suspended against Fulham after the international break.

13:04 , Giuseppe Muro

32 mins: Maddison wins a free-kick about 25 yards out. Maddison pulls ranks over Porro but can only curl an effort over the bar.

13:01 , Giuseppe Muro

Fine, fine stop from Kaminski. Kulusevski’s wrapped effort was heading in there. Excellent save. Remarkably, it’s still level.

13:01 , Giuseppe Muro

30 mins: What a save! Sarr does brilliantly to set up Kulusevski, who bends a left-footed effort towards the bottom corner and Kaminski makes an outstanding one-handed save down to his right.

12:57 , Giuseppe Muro

25 mins: Luton are having a better spell now. They win a corner on the left and Morris heads over.

Dom Smith at Kenilworth Road

12:57 , Giuseppe Muro

The roar of delight was deafening there from the home fans behind Kaminski’s goal when Bissouma’s pass was too powerful for Son to latch onto. This has been a scarily one-sided match, and yet Luton remain level. Every time Spurs falter with an attack, the genuine belief among Luton fans that their side could get something here seems to grow and grow.

12:57 , Giuseppe Muro

23 mins: Bissouma breaks from deep, runs into the Luton half but his pass for Son is too heavy. Son had run off his marker there if the pass had been better.

12:54 , Giuseppe Muro

21 mins: Better from Luton. Ogbene crosses from the left and the ball crashes into the side-netting.

12:52 , Giuseppe Muro

20 mins: Porro gets himself into a bit of mess and gives the ball away in his own half. Spurs only half-clear and Nakamba shanks a shot well wide.

12:50 , Giuseppe Muro

18 mins: Luton captain Lockyer is booked for a rash tackle on Maddison right on the edge of the area. Maddison whips the ball in but Luton head clear.

12:49 , Giuseppe Muro

16 mins: Another chance! How many more are Spurs going to waste? This time Son shots straight at Kaminski when he should do better.

12:47 , Giuseppe Muro

15 mins: Spurs work it well, the ball comes to Van de Ven about 25 yards out and he fires a shot miles over.

12:45 , Giuseppe Muro

13 mins: Richarlison wins a free-kick on the left, the ball is floated into the box but Romero can only head behind. Postecoglou has a face like thunder on the touchline, he knows Spurs should be ahead.

12:44 , Giuseppe Muro

12 mins: Spurs have had 86 per cent possession so far, which shows how dominant they have been.

12:41 , Giuseppe Muro

10 mins: Luton can’t cope with Spurs here. This time a long ball inside the box finds Maddison, who tees up Son and he shoots over.

Dom Smith at Kenilworth Road

12:39 , Giuseppe Muro

Two inexplicable misses from Richarlison, and now a poor effort from Pedro Porro which should similarly have found its way in. Spurs finding chance creation incredibly easy at the moment, but they have to be more clinical. They could be out of sight by now, and we’ve only played nine minutes…!

12:39 , Giuseppe Muro

8 mins: Another chance wasted! Spurs carve Luton open again, Maddison slips a brilliant ball through to Porro and he pokes the ball wide from he’s clean through. That’s three glorious chances now.

12:37 , Giuseppe Muro

5 mins: Spurs should be in front but this has been a really good start from the away side, who are still on the front foot.

12:36 , Giuseppe Muro

4 mins: Another chance for Richarlison! And again he has to score. Spurs are opening Luton up at will. This time they work the ball well, Maddison slips in Richarlison, he’s one-on-one with Kaminski and shoots straight at the Luton goalkeeper.

Dom Smith at Kenilworth Road

12:34 , Giuseppe Muro

No wonder there is a head-in-hands moment complete with a grimace from Ange Postecoglou. That miss from Richarlison barely looked possible. It’s like he tried to put it over!

12:34 , Giuseppe Muro

3 mins: Huge chance for Richarlison! How has he missed?! A brilliant ball from Kulusevski finds the Brazilian at the back post and someone he can’t find the net from underneath the crossbar. What a miss!

12:33 , Giuseppe Muro

2 mins: Spurs will a spell of possession early on. You think that will set the tone for the game. Ex-Watford man Richarlison is getting booed whenever he touches the ball.

Kick-off!

12:31 , Giuseppe Muro

We’re underway at Kenilworth Road! Can Spurs go top of the Premier League?

Dom Smith at Kenilworth Road

12:26 , Giuseppe Muro

A couple of brown patches of turf near the corner flags, but in the most part the pitch looks good. Here come the two teams!

12:23 , Giuseppe Muro

The two teams are in the tunnel. Kick-off is just over five minutes away…

12:19 , Giuseppe Muro

Wales manager Rob Page has promised not to jeopardise the health of Brennan Johnson by telling him to turn up for international duty when carrying an injury.

Page said: “The communication between us and Tottenham has been first-class. It’s about having mutual respect. Both managers want a talented player fit so it’s about working together.

“I’m not going to insist that he has to come away and we’re going to play him, jeopardise his safety and health. I wouldn’t do that. But they also understand the importance of our games.”

12:15 , Giuseppe Muro

Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to TNT Sport before the game and said he wants to move on from the VAR controversy from last weekend.

“Hopefully we are talking more about the football,” he said. “We have had a few injuries but the core of our team has been consistent, so that is important.”

12:12 , Giuseppe Muro

Kenilworth Road filling up nicely as fans make their way up the various residential streets that lead to the stadium, with just over 15 minutes to go until kick-off.

There something particularly nostalgic about a traditional stadium plonked right in the middle of the town.

Plenty of Spurs fans in attendance.

12:09 , Giuseppe Muro

A reminder that Tottenham will go top of the Premier League with a win. A big afternoon ahead for Spurs…

12:04 , Giuseppe Muro

Destiny Udogie last night received his first ever call up for the Italy squad.

The left-back has been rewarded for his fine start to the season and is joined in the squad by Guglielmo Vicario.

Udogie is in line to make his debut in Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and England.

12:00 , Giuseppe Muro

The Spurs players are out warming up at Kenilworth Road…

11:56 , Giuseppe Muro

Ange Postecoglou says he would scrap VAR “in its current form” and has dismissed calls from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for last weekend’s game to be replayed.

Postecoglou believes the VAR’s mistake which denied Liverpool the opening goal in their eventual 2-1 defeat in north London is further evidence that the technology is not suitable for football and warned that in trying to “sanitise” the sport, the English top-flight is in danger of losing its unique selling point: the speed of the game.

Asked his view on a rematch, Postecoglou warned there would be a game on all 365 days of the year if replays were awarded for every refereeing error. “I think Jurgen’s said that maybe that was taken a little bit out of context,” he said.

“My view is when you’re talking about a replay, there’s got to be some sort of threshold and I don’t think a mistake is a threshold for that, irrespective of the consequences. “If we stray into integrity or misappropriation of the law, then you maybe have a case to say, ‘well, you know what, there’s something there’.

“But, ultimately, when you strip it all back it was a mistake, that’s what it was. It was a unique mistake, people have used an unprecedented mistake and I agree with that, but it was still a mistake. So if your threshold for replays is mistakes by individuals, that’s 365 games a year, I reckon.”

It’s a blow for Ange Postecoglou that Manor Solomon suffered a serious knee injury this week and will be sidelined for up to four months.

Brennan Johnson is also missing today due to a hamstring injury which the Spurs head coach says he might have recovered from after the international break.

Tottenham are still able to name their favoured front four today, though, and you can’t help but worry for Luton as they seek to stop James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and skipper Son Heung-min.

That’s quite the attacking threat.

11:48 , Giuseppe Muro

Heung-min Son has been speaking to TNT Sport before the game about the impact of James Maddison.

“I love James Maddison,” said the Spurs captain. “He’s a fantastic player. Having this guy on our team is something special.”

“I love James Maddison.”

“He’s a fantastic player. Having this guy on our team is something special.”

‘Crunch him early doors!’

11:42 , Giuseppe Muro

Luton’s Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu has been speaking to TNT Sport before the game and was asked about his plans to stop James Maddison.

Mpanzu said: “Crunch him early doors! Stop him early doors and hopefully don’t get a yellow card! No, he is a quality player. We have to get as close to their midfielders as possible, create chances ourselves and score some goals.

“I support Arsenal so it is going to be a bit tasty. I am Arsenal through and through. Tottenham are second for a reason. Hopefully our performance can match theirs.”

“I Support Arsenal, so it’s going to be a bit tasty.”

“I’m Arsenal through and through.”

This game has some extra spice for Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu… 😅

Team news coming up from Kenilworth Road!

Prediction

11:21 , Giuseppe Muro

It will be fascinating to see Luton’s ground hosting a traditional ‘top six’ team but Spurs have been so good on the attack this season that it’s hard to bet against them.

Tottenham to win 3-1.

Luton team news

11:19 , Giuseppe Muro

Amari’i Bell misses out with the hamstring problem suffered in the midweek defeat by Burnley.

Ross Barkley is back in the squad after his own hamstring issue and could feature.

Tottenham team news

11:13 , Giuseppe Muro

Ange Postecoglou has one fresh injury concern, with Manor Solomon expected to sidelined for three to four months following knee surgery this week.

The Tottenham winger damaged his meniscus in training and had surgery on Thursday, joining fellow winger Ivan Perisic among Spurs’ long-term absentees.

Brennan Johnson will also miss the fixture at Kenilworth Road as he continues to nurse a hamstring problem but Postecoglou expects the deadline-day signing to be fit after the international break.

Bryan Gil and Giovani Lo Celso have both trained this week after groin and quad injuries, respectively, and could return to the matchday squad. Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Rodrigo Bentancur (ACL) are getting closer to fitness but remain sidelined.

Heung-min Son has been nursing a tight groin but trained on Thursday and Friday, while James Maddison jarred his knee against Arsenal a fortnight ago but has not missed a session this week.
