Luton vs Liverpool tips and predictions: Mo Salah to headline four-star performance for Reds
Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah
Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage is backing Liverpool to run riot against Luton Town on Super Sunday (1630 GMT).
Liverpool play Luton for the first time since 2008. There was a hat-trick in that game from Steven Gerrard. Will there be a hat-trick in this game? Mo Salah possibly.
I think Liverpool will go to Luton and win.
When the fixtures come out this is a game that Rob Edwards would have thought that any point will be a bonus.
I think it'll be tough, and they’ll make a little bit of a game of it, but I think Liverpool will dominate in the end.
I'm going to go for a Liverpool 4-0 win and a hat-trick for Mo Salah.

Planet Sport’s other bets to consider
Luton will welcome giants Liverpool to the quaint and cosy surroundings of Kenilworth Road on Sunday afternoon.
Anything other than an away win would constitute one of the biggest shocks in recent Premier League history, but you never know.
The Reds have a habit of conceding so Jurgen Klopp will have been thrilled to record back-to-back clean sheets against Everton and Forest.
Momentum is key and although they won’t admit it, they’ll be aiming to beat the Hatters without conceding so a bet on Liverpool win to nil is worth considering.
Even if the hosts do have their moment, then the visitor's firepower should be too much to handle.
They’ve scored three or more in eight of their games this season and when Liverpool are scoring goals, Mohamed Salah is usually involved.
The Egyptian has netted in six of those eight three-goal hauls and is up to eight goals and four assists in the Premier League.
It’s worth noting that 22 of the 29 goals scored in Luton games have come in the second half.
They’re resilient early on so you could bet on a high-scoring second half.
