Pep Guardiola’s side visit Kenilworth Road on Sunday 10 December with kick-off in Bedfordshire scheduled for 14:00 (UK).
The fixture represents the first time the two sides will lock horns since a 1999 Division Two clash where we recorded a 2-0 win at Maine Road.
Although Rob Edwards’ side will be harbouring ambitions to cement their top flight status this term while we battle for a fourth successive Premier League crown – it will certainly be a tough assignment in front of the Hatters’ passionate crowd.
With December’s packed schedule in full flow, there are many decisions FPL managers may need to make to maximise their points return during the winter.
Find out who the Scout has tipped for success this weekend ahead of Saturday 9 December’s 11:00 (UK) deadline.
CITY STAR
Manchester City midfielder Rodri (5.6m) has the away form to trouble Luton Town in Gameweek 16 of Fantasy Premier League.
The Spaniard has been involved in five goals on the road this season, scoring three and assisting a further two.
That places him second only to the 10 goal involvements of Erling Haaland (£14.0m) in such matches for the champions.
Rodri’s output is all the more impressive bearing in mind he has only featured in five away fixtures.
Indeed, his average of 7.2 points per match (ppm) on his travels is near-identical to the 7.6 ppm of Haaland.
The underlying numbers further highlight Rodri’s major goal threat in those away encounters.
His totals of 17 shots and nine shots on target both place among Man City’s top three players.
ONE TO WATCH
Carlton Morris (£5.2m) boasts the main threat for the Hatters, with three goals and two assists this term.
DIFFERENTIALS
Elsewhere, Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Hwang Hee-Chan (£5.7m) and Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez (£4.6m) are low-owned assets with strong form and fixtures.
Hwang hosts Nottingham Forest on the back of two goals and 18 points in his last three fixtures.
Sanchez has averaged five points per away match ahead of the Blues’ encounter with Everton.
