The two previous sides to earn five points or fewer from the opening 10 fixtures of their debut Premier League season were Swindon in 1993 and Bolton in 1995, both of whom went on to finish bottom.
Luton are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, conceding 20 goals in 10 league matches, with their most recent top-flight shut-out (and home win) coming in a 2-0 victory against Aston Villa in April 1992, when Brian Stein and Mark Pembridge scored.
Six of their nine Premier League goals this season have come in the final 10 minutes – only Arsenal, with seven, have netted more prior to the latest round of fixtures.
Their only defeat in the past 21 league matches was 2-1 at Tottenham in September (W14, D6).
However, the Reds have lost each of their last two Premier League games away to newly-promoted opposition: Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth last season.
The Merseysiders are vying to become the first club to score a Premier League goal at all 61 stadia used in the division.
