Newcastle's final match before Christmas sees them travel all the way down to Luton for a clash against one of the Premier League's relegation battlers on Saturday.
The end of 2023 has been very tough for the Magpies, with injuries and the added demands of Champions League football taking a toll on Eddie Howe's squad and their brand of football. They will be running on fumes after losing to Chelsea on penalties in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
Hosts Luton saw their last game against Bournemouth abandoned after captain Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest. He has now been discharged from hospital following surgery.

Luton Town vs Newcastle score prediction
Neither team is in very good form at the moment but it is Newcastle who will be feeling more down in the dumps given their European journey is over and they exited another cup competition in midweek. Attention now turns to retaining a spot in the top four.
The Magpies may not be in great shape right now, but they should still have enough about them to beat a Luton team that are in the relegation zone and one of the favourites to go down. It could take a long time for the breakthrough to come, though.
Prediction: Luton Town 0-1 Newcastle
