Luton have more than it needs to turn this one around.

Taking any sort of lead into the second leg can be huge. Much will depend on how Sunderland’s depleted defence copes with the likely onslaught.

Just after the goal, when the Sunderland corner was headed out for a throw in, it looked as though Diallo was assaulted by a guy from the crowd as he went for the ball.

I think of the two of these clubs I’d prefer to be competing against Luton next season. Also would be nice to see a new club in the PL.

Doesn’t help when you don’t have a fit central defender. With Batth & Ballard they would look a lot stronger.

Sunderland haven’t played any football because they can’t put two passes together. Luton have been very good.

Almost the same game when we were there. So difficult to play against them. But we defended well that day and had a bit of luck too.

All their bigger players missing through injury and it’s costing them. They can’t cope with it.

Luton have a very bright manager in Edwards-destined for better things with a good CV. Fail to see how Luton could play in the PL without absolutely huge improvements to their ground and facility. Almost an impossibility in a close season of two months
