Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Tottenham Hotspur will keep a clean sheet against Luton and emerge with an easy win from Kenilworth Road.
Tottenham head into the clash on Saturday as one of just two unbeaten sides across the Premier League, knowing that they will temporarily move into the top spot if they can get all three points.
However, the Lilywhites have a whole host of injuries heading into the game, with Manor Solomon joining the list of long-term absentees, which includes Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentacnur and Giovani Lo Celso, while Brennan Johnson also remains out of action for the time being (The Athletic).
Reports indicate that captain Son Heung-min will feature against Luton despite having some groin pain over the last couple of weeks (Lyall Thomas).

Despite being down to the bare bones in attack, Lawrenson believes that Postecoglou’s men will not have much trouble overcoming the newly promoted side.
The pundit told Paddy Power: “Tottenham will just be glad to play this game and move on from last week and obviously it was a really good result against Liverpool!
“Luton were good value for money to beat Everton last weekend and that was by far and away their best performance of the season so far. Ange Postecoglou has definitely improved Spurs and everyone’s chipping in now that they’ve lost Harry Kane.”
Luton 0-2 Tottenham.
Spurs Web Opinion
Postecoglou is not likely to have too many attacking options to turn to from the bench, given the injuries. So, it is important that we impose ourselves on the game early and score a couple of goals in the first half to make things easier for ourselves.
