Leicester City can move level on points with the League One play-off places with a victory at Luton Town this Saturday, a result that would also help close the seven-point gap to leaders Stockport County.
Their recent form is the foundation for this push. The Foxes are unbeaten in their last five away matches, scoring ten goals and conceding just five. Emil Riis, the club's top scorer with four goals this season, was on target in that midweek rout. Midfielder Braybrooke provided three assists in the Bromley victory, while John Lundstram also found the net, continuing his influential role. The comprehensive win over Bromley followed a 2-1 home victory against Doncaster on Saturday 17 October, where Lundstram was again on the scoresheet.
Luton's Defensive Concerns
Luton present an opportunity for Leicester to maintain their momentum. The Hatters have managed only one clean sheet in their last ten matches and have conceded five goals across their last five games at home. They sit 13th, one point and one place behind Leicester, having lost 2-1 to MK Dons in midweek. This defensive fragility is a clear target for a Leicester attack that has scored in each of its last five outings and has netted 16 goals this season while conceding 15.
Recent Performances and Momentum
Leicester's current standing of 10th, with a goal difference of plus one, shows the progress made under Martin. The club's last three-match winning streak in the league was achieved during their promotion-winning run under Enzo Maresca in April 2024. Victory at Luton would end that wait and solidify their climb up the division. The team's form over the last five matches stands at three wins and two losses, and they will aim to extend their current two-game winning run when they travel to face 13th-placed Luton on Saturday 24 October.
