We’re in the endgame now, ladies and gentlemen. The Premier League season is entering the final furlong with just a handful of games remaining for clubs up and down English football’s top tier. Whether it be the title race, the relegation battle or anything in between, there’s still a lot left to be determined. Today, we’ll be taking a look at the upcoming clash between Luton Town and Everton.
Luton Form GuideLuton Town fans are on cloud nine right now as they continue to enjoy life in the Premier League. When you put that alongside their success in the FA Cup, we’d say this is shaping up to be a pretty fun season for the Hatters. The priority, of course, is staying in the top flight, and we’d say they are looking good in that quest as we head into the final stretch of the season.
Across their last six games, Luton have somewhat fallen apart at the worst possible time. They did manage to beat Bournemouth at the start of the month, but they’ve also suffered defeats to Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City, Brentford and most recently Wolves.
Everton Form GuideEverton manager Sean Dyche isn’t the kind of guy to let his team go quietly into the night. With that in mind, and with their legal situation still ongoing with the Premier League, we’d argue that the club feeling ‘slighted’ could really help them in the months that lie ahead. They’ve secured safety in the top flight once again, but now, they have to focus on the future and what could come next.
Across their last six games, Everton have only lost once - a 6-0 battering against Chelsea. They’ve also drawn 1-1 with Newcastle to run alongside four huge victories over Burnley, Nottingham Forest, Brentford and, most importantly, local rivals Liverpool.
Match PredictionEverton are safe, which means there’s a decent chance they could take their foot off the gas between now and the end of the season. Luton, meanwhile, know that every remaining game is a cup final for them. In our view, the most likely outcome in this one is under 2.5 goals scored.
