Currently on a three-game losing streak in the Premier League, Luton Town could probably think of a few opponents they'd rather play than last season's all-conquering Treble winners in the FA Cup fifth round.
Although Rob Edwards' side lost just once in nine games in all competitions between late December and early February – knocking out Bolton and Everton in the FA Cup – they have conceded a worrying 13 goals in their last four games. Having Alfie Doughty fit again will help, but top scorer Elijah Adebayo remains absent through injury.
City have won 15 of their last 17 outings in all competitions, the title-winning form surge that tends to arrive at this time of year now firmly entrenched for 2024. With John Stones back to fitness, Pep Guardiola's side are again very difficult to break down. City will start as heavy favorites but nevertheless found the Kenny roar tough to deal with in December's 2-1 league win.
You'll want to tune in to see who progresses, so read on as we explain all the ways to get a Luton Town vs Man City live stream where you are today.
