The team at Luton in the Prem believe with players returning from injury, the Hatters still have a great chance of staying up this season.

Luton Town commentator Simon Oxley: "Luton need a bit of luck from somewhere with injuries, just to get a few back to try and help. At what point do we get to the stage when Rob Edwards has got to say for example, to Elijah Adebayo, 'I'm going to have to play you. I know you are not fit, but I'm gonna have to play you if you get the medical clearance.'

"Teden Mengi wasn't fit for Manchester City and he was a big miss as he was so outstanding against Bournemouth. You would want him up there against Ivan Toney.

"It is a must win this weekend and on the last day. Everton is a must not lose rather than must win as we cannot give ground to another team."

Luton Town co-commentator Geoff Doyle added: "We have no midweek games now so we have stretches of a week to get them back, with possibly Sambi Lokonga and Gabriel Osho coming back. If they can play 20 against Brentford and then play a bit longer against Wolves, Luton can then have them back fully for the last three games."
