Rob Edwards’s team don’t have much room for making mistakes and dropping points

Luton Town are in a fight for Premier League survival. Currently, they sit 18th and one point below Nottingham Forest. The 16th-place side Brentford have already secured safety. This means only one of the bottom four can come out safe by the end of the league season.

Everton were in the relegation battle previously but they have managed to pull the strings at the right time and secured their status as a PL side for next season. Sean Dyche’s men have already faced the Hatters twice this season, once in the league and once in the FA Cup. In both games, the Toffees witnessed defeat.

Kick-Off:

Form

Luton (in all competitions): L-L-L-W-L

Everton (in all competitions): W-W-W-L-W

Players to Watch

Carlton Morris (Luton)

To get all three points one needs to win games. And to win games one has to score goals. And this is exactly where the duties of Carlton Morris come into play. The 28-year-old centre-forward has 10 goals in the league and any goal he scores hereon can aid the fight of survival of his side in the PL.

Abdoulaye Doucouré (Everton)

The visiting team also have many quality players in their ranks. One such important player currently is Abdoulaye Doucouré. Although ideally, Doucouré used to be a central midfielder now we see him used more in the attacking part of the gameplay. This change has been fruitful as the 31-year-old has netted 6 goals in the league so far.

Match Facts

Luton Town have won just two games in all competitions out of the last sixteen
Everton have won their last four games out of five in the PL

Injury & Team News

Amidst the backing of the home crowd, Luton Town would have hoped to have more options for selection in their fight for survival. Chiedozie Ogbene, Jacob Brown, Tom Lockyer, Dan Potts, Marvelous Nakamba, Mads Andersen, Amari’i Bell and Issa Kabore are all injured and won’t be of any help to their team here.

With safety confirmed and nothing more to play for, Everton’s side will be at ease even though they have many players sidelined. The likes of Beto, Dele Alli, Lewis Dobbin, Nathan Patterson and Seamus Coleman are out injured. The availability of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Vitalii Mykolenko depends on their status before kickoff.
