There’s a massive meeting between Luton and Everton at Kenilworth Road tonight as the Hatters look to boost their survival hopes on home turf. Rob Edwards’ side are just a point off safety with three games to play and need a huge three points to leapfrog Nottingham Forest into 17th.
While a few weeks ago this will have been viewed as a relegation six-pointer, Everton’s recent upturn in form has seen the Toffees consolidate their Premier League spot. Indeed, Everton have won four of their last five matches, a 6-0 loss at Chelsea the blip on the record, and their recent showings mean they can look ahead to next season in the Premier League, provided they don’t suffer another points deduction.
Edwards is without no fewer than eight players for tonight’s welcome of Everton, with Issa Kabore, Chiedozie Ogbene and Marvelous Nakamba among those absent. The Hatters have lost three on the spin heading into this one though have been better at home than on the road, picking up 15 of 25 points in front of their own fans.
Sean Dyche will hope to have Dominic Calvert-Lewin available for selection after the striker missed the 1-0 win over Brentford due to illness, while Vitalii Mykolenko will also be assessed. Beto, Seamus Coleman, Dele Alli, Lewis Dobbin and Nathan Patterson all miss out.

Luton’s must-win welcome of Everton kicks off at 20:00 (GMT) on Friday night.
