Luton Preview

Luton Preview:

• Rob Edwards' 3-5-2 base formation.

• Luton's shape in possession.

• Luton out of possession, and their aggressive press in the defensive and midfield thirds.

- Luton tend to setup in a 3-5-2 base formation.

- They have one number 6 (Mpanzu) and two number 8s (Clark and Campbell).

- In possession, their formation becomes a 3-3-2-2 as Clark and Campbell move into number 10 roles.

- The wing backs provide the width, while the number 10s occupy the half spaces.

- Movement from the two forwards provides space for the number 10s to move into.

- Out of possession, Luton transition into a 5-3-2.

- They try to reduce the number of free players by pressing whoever finds space.

- This can create space for runners; Norwich should look to exploit this by dragging Luton's defenders into midfield.
