2025 starts back at Kenilworth Road for Luton Town as we host Norwich City on New Year's Day in the Sky Bet Championship (3pm GMT).
Rob Edwards’ Hatters struggled on the road over the festive period but will hope to put that behind them going into the New Year.
Johannes Hoff Thorup’s Canaries went four without a win since our visit to Carrow Road in November before victory against Millwall and a late draw with QPR.
The opposition
Norwich have shown signs of a play-off push at points during the season but have struggled to find consistency in results.
The Canaries ended November in style with ten goals across two home games against us and Plymouth, then scored just twice across the following four games.
Former Hatters academy player and ex-Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere joined Thorup’s backroom staff earlier this season.
