Luton vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result and reaction after late Digne winner for visitors
Follow all the action from Kenilworth Road
Aston Villa travel to Luton in their bid to remain in the hunt for the Champions League places, but Kenilworth Road can be a difficult place to travel.
Luton meanwhile face a battle to bridge the widening gap between themselves and Premier League safety, which was made more difficult when Everton’s points deduction was reduced to six points.
Ahead of the match, the Hatters were in 18th place, five points behind Nottingham Forest, with all three teams who came up last year currently occupying the bottom three places.
But Luton have won nine of their past 11 home games against Aston Villa, although this will be their first meeting at the ground since August 2016.
Aston Villa have scored more first-half goals than any other side in the Premier League this season with 27, but Luton have been difficult to beat at home.

In the second minute of at least seven added for several stoppages, Chong drills the ball wildly over the top from a tight angle on the left. There's been a total lack of composure in the final third so far, which will disappoint Luton boss Edwards.

SUPER SAVE! Kaminski keeps Luton in it! Substitute Rogers cuts inside and fires a powerful shot at goal, but the goalkeeper rises high to fingertip it over the crossbar by the finest of margins! That could have finished it from a Villa point of view.

Luton are yet to have a shot in today's game, and it's apparent that confidence is seeping away by the minute. They simply can't stop leaking goals at the moment. Villa are now in cruise mode.
