Luton Town vs Everton Prediction
The Hatters have entered the relegation zone as they have lost all of their last five Premier League games and managed to win only two of their last 16 matches since the turn of the year. Their poor run of form leaves them in a dangerous position of an immediate return to the Championship.
Meanwhile, relegation-threatened Everton have struggled to gather any consistent form this season but they were hit with a 10-point deduction by the Premier League. But they have enjoyed a timely upturn in form in recent weeks, having won each of their last four home games helping them climb out of the relegation zone.
