Despite being down to the bare bones in attack, Lawrenson believes that Postecoglou’s men will not have much trouble overcoming the newly promoted side.
The pundit told Paddy Power: “Tottenham will just be glad to play this game and move on from last week and obviously it was a really good result against Liverpool!
“Luton were good value for money to beat Everton last weekend and that was by far and away their best performance of the season so far. Ange Postecoglou has definitely improved Spurs and everyone’s chipping in now that they’ve lost Harry Kane.”
Luton 0-2 Tottenham.

Postecoglou is not likely to have too many attacking options to turn to from the bench, given the injuries. So, it is important that we impose ourselves on the game early and score a couple of goals in the first half to make things easier for ourselves.
