Luton vs Tottenham LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today

Wales manager Rob Page has promised not to jeopardise the health of Brennan Johnson by telling him to turn up for international duty when carrying an injury.

Page said: “The communication between us and Tottenham has been first-class. It’s about having mutual respect. Both managers want a talented player fit so it’s about working together.

“I’m not going to insist that he has to come away and we’re going to play him, jeopardise his safety and health. I wouldn’t do that. But they also understand the importance of our games.”

Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to TNT Sport before the game and said he wants to move on from the VAR controversy from last weekend.

“Hopefully we are talking more about the football,” he said. “We have had a few injuries but the core of our team has been consistent, so that is important.”

Kenilworth Road filling up nicely as fans make their way up the various residential streets that lead to the stadium, with just over 15 minutes to go until kick-off.

There something particularly nostalgic about a traditional stadium plonked right in the middle of the town.

Plenty of Spurs fans in attendance.

A reminder that Tottenham will go top of the Premier League with a win. A big afternoon ahead for Spurs…

Destiny Udogie last night received his first ever call up for the Italy squad.

The left-back has been rewarded for his fine start to the season and is joined in the squad by Guglielmo Vicario.

Udogie is in line to make his debut in Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and England.

Ange Postecoglou says he would scrap VAR “in its current form” and has dismissed calls from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for last weekend’s game to be replayed.

Postecoglou believes the VAR’s mistake which denied Liverpool the opening goal in their eventual 2-1 defeat in north London is further evidence that the technology is not suitable for football and warned that in trying to “sanitise” the sport, the English top-flight is in danger of losing its unique selling point: the speed of the game.

Asked his view on a rematch, Postecoglou warned there would be a game on all 365 days of the year if replays were awarded for every refereeing error. “I think Jurgen’s said that maybe that was taken a little bit out of context,” he said.

“My view is when you’re talking about a replay, there’s got to be some sort of threshold and I don’t think a mistake is a threshold for that, irrespective of the consequences. “If we stray into integrity or misappropriation of the law, then you maybe have a case to say, ‘well, you know what, there’s something there’.

“But, ultimately, when you strip it all back it was a mistake, that’s what it was. It was a unique mistake, people have used an unprecedented mistake and I agree with that, but it was still a mistake. So if your threshold for replays is mistakes by individuals, that’s 365 games a year, I reckon.”

It’s a blow for Ange Postecoglou that Manor Solomon suffered a serious knee injury this week and will be sidelined for up to four months.

Brennan Johnson is also missing today due to a hamstring injury which the Spurs head coach says he might have recovered from after the international break.

Tottenham are still able to name their favoured front four today, though, and you can’t help but worry for Luton as they seek to stop James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and skipper Son Heung-min.

That’s quite the attacking threat.

Heung-min Son has been speaking to TNT Sport before the game about the impact of James Maddison.

“I love James Maddison,” said the Spurs captain. “He’s a fantastic player. Having this guy on our team is something special.”
