Luton Town vs West Ham live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV, team news

Tonight's Friday evening EPL clash sees top-flight new boys take on early season high-flyers, with the Luton Town vs West Ham live stream promising to be the ideal way to start your weekend while enjoying the Deadline Day action too  — and it's easy to watch from anywhere using a VPN. The team news is in and listed just below.

But for the unstoppable force that is Manchester City, West Ham United are the team that have been quickest out of the traps this season. After three games, the Hammers remain undefeated with seven points, including excellent back-to-back 3-1 wins against Brighton and cross-city rivals Chelsea.

After their Europa Conference League win at the end of last season, there's a real feelgood factor around the London Stadium right now, and Moyes' Boys will see a trip to Kenilworth Road as a prime opportunity to bag a further three points ahead of the international break.

After their epic penalty shootout play-off final win, it was always going to be a tough campaign for Luton Town — especially faced with two away games at Brighton and Chelsea to kick things off. Seven goals and two losses later, and only the hapless Everton sit below them in the table but there's bound to be a party atmosphere in the stadium this Friday night, as Kenilworth Road hosts its first top-flight league game for over 30 years. If manager Rob Edwards has any hope of survival this season, it really needs to start here.

Here's how they line up: 

Luton Town: Kaminski, Doughty, Burke, Andersen, Bell, Giles, Chong, Nakamba, Barkley, Adebayo, Morris.

West Ham: Areola, Coufal, Zouma, Aguerd, Emerson, Álvarez, Ward-Prowse, Bowen, Lucas Paquetá, Benrahma, Antonio.

It's the Hatters up against the Hammers in a game boasting two of the most evocative nicknames in the English Premier League — but who will come out on top? To find out, you'll need to know the details of how to watch a Luton vs West Ham live stream.

And that's where this guide comes in, with all the information you need to get that stream. And if you want to watch any other games this weekend or across the season, our general guide to watch Premier League live streams is the place to go.
