Queens Park Rangers (QPR) are set to face Luton Town on Monday evening, with both teams eager for points as the Championship season intensifies. Aiming to complete the double over Luton, who they previously triumphed against with a 2-1 victory back in August, QPR enters this match hoping for another win at Loftus Road.
Luton's struggles have been prominent throughout the season, facing the threat of back-to-back relegations. With their recent performances lacking, pressure is mounting on manager Rob Edwards, whose side suffered their third consecutive loss with a 1-0 defeat to Norwich City last Wednesday. Currently just three points above the relegation zone, Luton desperately need to turn their fortunes around.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM GMT on January 6, 2025. For those planning to catch the game, it will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Football, starting at 7:30 PM GMT. Fans can also live stream the event via the Sky Go app, assuming they have subscriptions.

With QPR coming off strong performances, including five wins from the last nine matches, they currently sit comfortably at 15th position, with aspirations of breaking through to the playoff spots should they continue on their upward trend.
On the other hand, Luton finds itself struggling to gain any momentum. The team’s lack of cohesive play and inability to score goals have left fans feeling anxious about their prospects this season. Observers are curious to see how Luton responds to the increasing pressure.
QPR's recent form reflects their determination, especially after outclassing Watford with their commanding performance on New Year’s Day. For QPR, this match poses as one of those pivotal moments—they could either build on their momentum or create uncertainty should they falter against their struggling opponents.
Fans on all sides will be glued to their screens, anticipating which QPR side will show up at Loftus Road—will it be the confident team brimming with potential, or will the struggles of former seasons rear their head once again? The stakes are high for both clubs, more so for Luton as they fight for survival.
