Both Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town have had struggles at the start of this season, failing to make an impact on the EFL Championship so far this campaign.

It has been a tough start to the league season for Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle. Right now they sit 20th place having picked up just five points in their opening six games. Winning just once.

Despite this Rooney has been very open about the fact that he likes the way his team are playing and that things will start to turn around. After all they did end Sunderland’s unbeaten run just two weeks ago. This will be a huge chance for them to pick up valuable points at the bottom of the table.

Predicted Lineup - Thomas Kaminski, Reece Burke, Mark McGuinness, Teden Mengi, Reuell Walters, Liam Walsh, Marvelous Nakamba, Alfie Doughty, Carlton Morris, Tahith Chong, Elijah Adebayo

Surprisingly Luton Town have had a difficult start to life back in the Championship despite being tipped to go straight back up. However they have started to turn their form around slightly in more recent weeks.

Right now they sit 16th in the league on just seven points only picking up their only two wins of the season in the past two weeks against Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday.

One man they can thank for that is Carlton Morris who scored a brace off the bench against Sheffield Wednesday to secure all three points. If he can continue to fire in the goals he could be key to this Luton side going forward.
