Luton Town vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League goal updates as Jacob Brown scores late for hosts

Everton’s 10-point deduction has given Luton Town a real chance of staying in the Premier League this year as they are now one point clear of the relegation zone. They are not safe by any means but two draws in their last four matches, so they are starting to adapt to the rigours of the top-flight.

They host Crystal Palace this afternoon hoping to pick up a second win of the season against the Eagles who only have one victory from their last five.

However, Roy Hodgson’s men have won three of their six Premier League away games this season and have the bonus of Jordan Ayew and Jefferson Lerma returning from international duty yesterday.

Follow the latest action from the Premier League below.

Lockyer has a free-kick in the middle of the pitch but sends the ball straight out for a Palace goal-kick. Luton need to be calmer in possession in the last few minutes of the game, with the Eagles committing men forward at every chance they get.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:48

SAVE! Palace are still in this game and are putting the pressure on Luton. Mateta fails to collect a cross from the left, but the ball drops to Andersen, who is free at close range. He attempts to drive a low shot into the near post, but Kaminski sticks out a leg to make an impressive stop.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:46

Palace have conceded six goals in the last 15 minutes of the second half, only Sheffield United (11) and West Ham United (seven) have conceded more in the English Premier League this season.

CHANCE! Olise curls a free-kick into the box, with Guehi racing away from the Luton defence and having a free shot at goal. His attempt is blocked by Kaminski, with Ayew unable to head in the rebound. The flag then goes up for offside.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:38

Palace have failed to win in their last seven matches when conceding the opening goal in the English Premier League dating back to 29th April 2023 against West Ham United. However, they scored soon after conceding and now have all the momentum. Edwards might regret taking Morris off straight after Luton's goal.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:31

For a third consecutive Premier League season, Palace’s Edouard has scored at least five goals (six in 2021-22 and five in 2022-23). He’s done so in just 11 appearances this season, scoring the same amount in 35 appearances last term. He thought he had netted the opener moments ago, but the ball hit his hand before scoring.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:30

NO GOAL! The Luton fans cheer as the goal will not count. Edouard used his hand before scoring and is punished as a result. The game remains level.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:25

Barkley and Ogbene combine on the left, with the latter racing past Ward before being fouled by Hughes. Luton have a chance to put the ball in the box, but Doughty overhits his cross.

Olise lofts a deep free-kick into Luton's box, with Andersen unmarked at the back. He looks to volley the ball back across the box rather than shooting, but his attempt is poor and Luton clear it away.

16:19

Yellow Card Ross Barkley

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:18

Ogbene races in from the left and looks to go past Ward, with the full-back blocking his cross out for a corner. Doughty's outswinging cross is headed away, with Mengi unable to do anything with the loose ball.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:16

Former Watford player Hughes gets a hostile reception from the home fans with his first few touches on the ball. Palace will need to regroup after two injuries have forced them into changes.

Substitution Cheick Oumar Doucouré William James Hughes

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:12

There is another stoppage in the game with Doucoure on the floor. He slipped as he made a pass and requires medical treatment. The stretcher is on the pitch. An awful couple of minutes for Palace.

16:09

Yellow Card Gabriel Jeremiah Adedayo Osho

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:08

Substitution Eberechi Oluchi Eze Jordan Pierre Ayew

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:08

Hodgson looks concerned with Eze on the floor. He only just came back from injury and does not look like he will be able to continue.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:08

Palace start the second half in a similar way to what they did in the first. The away side keep possession well outside Luton's box, with Olise receiving it on the right. He attempts to swing a low cross into the middle with the outside of his foot, but Kaminski claims it.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:06

Eze gets the ball rolling again. No changes at the break.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

16:00

Luton will be frustrated with their performance before the break, only having three shots and creating an expected goals (xG) of 0.17. Townsend and Doughty have put a number of crosses into the box, but Palace have been able to deal with them. Morris has often been forced wide, meaning the Hatters have not had a target in the middle. As for the Eagles, they will be encouraged by their attempts. Olise has been involved at every opportunity on his first start of the season and has already had 36 touches on the right. Eze has also looked dangerous behind Edouard, who will be disappointed that he was only able to get one shot away before the break.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:55

Kaminski made an impressive double-save to keep the score level in the first half, with the game between Luton and Palace goalless at the break. The Eagles had the better chances and looked to open the scoring early in the match. Olise attempted to mark his return to the side with a goal inside the opening minute but curled his left-footed strike around the post. Edouard's poked effort was then saved easily by the goalkeeper before two phenomenal stops. Eze's powerful shot from the edge took a wicked deflection, with Kaminski getting down to his right to parry it away before blocking Schlupp's rebound. Luton's best opportunity came through Lockyer, but he headed over from a corner.

HALF-TIME: LUTON TOWN 0-0 CRYSTAL PALACE

15:49

There will be two minutes of additional time.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:47

Eze won the free-kick and takes responsibility to take it. His right-footed effort curls around the right side of the wall and into the gloves of Kaminski, who makes a strong stop.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:46

Eze runs down the left and plays the ball into the path of Schlupp, who overlaps him down the left. He looks for options in the middle and plays a low cross in, but Kaminski gets it away.

15:46

Yellow Card Thomas Alun Lockyer

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:45

Doughty's corner is met by Lockyer in the middle of the box, but the Luton captain puts too much on his header, with the ball going well over.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:44

Doughty does well to win possession back inside Palace's half and plays a quick one-two with Morris before laying a pass out to Ogbene. He assesses his options before curling a cross into the box that defects behind for a corner.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:42

Schlupp has possession on the edge of the box and lashes a shot towards the goal that deflects off Lockyer and out for a corner. However, nothing comes from the following cross.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:41

Luton's shape has made it difficult for Palace to create any noteworthy attacks in the last 15 minutes. The press from the attacking trio has stopped the visitors from building out the back with ease. Additionally, their compact midfield and defence has stopped their playmakers from getting on the ball.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:38

Luton are launching crosses into the box from the right and left, but Palace are doing well to deal with them. Ward, Andersen, Guehi and Mitchell have all made important headers away, with Morris yet to have a shot.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:36

Palace have won five of their last 11 away Premier League matches since Hodgson returned to the club (drawing two and losing four), as many as in their previous 28 combined on the road (drawing nine and losing 14). Since the first away game in this run (April 9th, 5-1 at Leeds), only Man City (six) have won more away games than the Eagles. They started the game well but are currently having to soak up some pressure from Luton.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:35

Ogbene collects a pass down the left and uses his quick feet to escape Ward. The former Rotherham United man then drives a pass towards the edge of the box, with Townsend going down under a challenge from a defender. Weak appeals for a penalty are quickly turned down by the referee.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:31

Doughty's free-kick from the left is headed out of the box by Andersen. The ball rolls to Mengi, who drills a low shot straight into the gloves of Johnstone. He did well to control his strike, but it was a simple save for the goalkeeper.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:30

Andersen takes too long in possession, with Morris forcing him to pass it straight out for a throw-in. Kenilworth Road erupts, with the hosts starting to build their way into the game.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:28

Luton win a corner on the right, with Barkley curling an inviting cross into the heart of the box. Lockyer and Mengi look to get efforts away, but Palace clear it out.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:27

Luton are trapped in their own half and are struggling to get Morris and Ogbene into the game. Eze and Olise have kept their defenders busy.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:26

TWO SAVES! Kaminski keeps the score level with a couple of quick stops. Eze collects Doucoure's pass and unleashes a powerful effort that deflects off a Luton defender. Kaminski gets down to his right to push away the ball before saving the rebound from Schlupp.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:24

Schlupp does well to control a loose ball in Luton's half and weaves his way through a couple of players. He lays a pass down the right to Olise, who cuts inside and has his shot blocked. His effort was never going to reach the goal with two defenders ahead of him.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:22

Luton have suffered five Premier League defeats by a single goal this season, the joint most of any side (level with Sheffield United). Meanwhile, three of opponents Palace’s four wins this season have come via a one-goal victory. The Eagles have had the better chances to break the deadlock in the opening exchanges, but Kaminski is yet to be seriously challenged in the Luton goal.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:19

Edouard does well to control a long ball forward, allowing Palace to recycle possession down the left side of the pitch. Olise rushes towards the byline and pulls a low cross across the box, but Eze does not make the run and Luton clear it away.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:17

Doughty is over a deep free-kick in Palace's half, but the chance quickly evaporates after a foul in the box. It was a rare opportunity to get the ball forward with plenty of options in the middle.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:14

Yellow Card Jefferson Andrés Lerma Solís

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:14

Olise is looking to get on the ball as much as possible down the right. He is dropping back to the halfway line to try and get involved in the game before rushing down the wing.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:13

Morris drifts over to the right to help stretch the pitch, laying a pass back to Doughty. He swings a cross into the heart of the box, but Andersen heads it away unchallenged.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:11

Luton are keeping possession well around Palace's box and are looking to work an opening. Bell's cross is headed on by Lockyer, with Townsend keeping the attack alive down the right. He puts the ball back in, but Johnstone claims it.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:09

Palace come forward again through Doucoure, who surges into space before laying a pass into the feet of Edouard. The striker turns on the ball and pokes a shot towards the goal that is saved with ease by Kaminski.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:08

Olise has had a lively start to the game on his return to the Palace side. He wins possession off Bell and loops a cross towards the back of the box, but it goes over everyone and Doughty deals with it.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:07

Luton have had spells of possession in this game but have not been able to retain the ball for long periods. The hosts try to put some pressure on Palace down the right, but Morris fouls Lerma with a push and the Eagles have it back.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:05

Luton's Townsend will be a player to watch in this match. He played 168 Premier League games for Palace between 2016 and 2021. Six different players have scored against Palace in the competition after playing for them, most recently Patrick Bamford for Leeds in April. Townsend’s one goal against Palace came just before he joined the club, scoring a free-kick for Newcastle United in April 2016.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:04

WIDE! Palace have the first chance of the game. Eze rushes down the middle of Luton's half and switches possession over to Olise on the edge of the box. He cuts the ball onto his left foot and curls his shot across the goal and wide.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:03

Luton get this Premier League clash under way. Morris with the first pass all the way back to Kaminski.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

15:01

This is the first meeting between Luton and Palace in any competition since the 2006-07 Championship campaign, with the home side winning both games 2-1 back then. Both teams are on the pitch and are ready to get started.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

14:47

Palace make two alterations to the team that were beaten by Everton in their last outing. Doucoure comes in and partners Lerma just in front of the defence, meaning Hughes drops onto the bench. Hodgson is also boosted by the return of Olise, who starts in the Premier League for the first time this season after an injury. Ayew makes way as a result.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

14:43

Luton make two changes to the side that lost to Manchester United in their previous match. Issa Kabore suffered a head injury while playing for Burkina Faso during the international break and is replaced by Bell on the right. Marvelous Nakamba also misses out, with Mpanzu coming into the midfield.

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

14:31

Palace are in a comfortable position in the Premier League table and are 10 points above the relegation zone. However, the Eagles are going through a rough patch of form, losing three of their last four matches and conceding nine goals. Roy Hodgson’s men seemed to put back-to-back defeats against Newcastle United and Tottenham behind them with a win over Burnley before falling to a 3-2 defeat versus Everton in their previous outing. Dropping down to 13th position, a compact table means they are only five points away from seventh place. Despite this, they will need to collect a rare away victory against Luton if they want to turn their form around, only winning one of their last eight top-flight meetings with the Hatters (drawing three and losing four).

Luton Town vs Crystal Palace

14:30

Luton have won just one of their first 12 games in the Premier League this season, with their only victory coming against Everton at Goodison Park. It is their fewest wins at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1974-75 (winning one, drawing six and losing five), where they went on to finish at the bottom of the table. The Hatters are also on a six-game winless run but will be encouraged by their recent performances. Rob Edwards’ men were unfortunate not to beat Liverpool in their last home match, with Luis Diaz’s stoppage-time strike helping the Reds earn a point before losing 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Luton were also handed a boost during the international break as they moved out of the relegation zone after Everton’s 10-point deduction for breaching financial rules.
