These are the games - at home to a relegation rival - that you would normally say you have to win to stay up.

Given the circumstances, though, Luton will be happy to have got out with a point.

Injuries have plagued Rob Edwards' side and, coming off the back of a devastating 4-3 loss at Bournemouth, it would have been easy for them to feel sorry for themselves when Nottingham Forest went in front.

Instead, Luton continued to scrap, not interested in any excuses, as they fought to keep Forest out with a series of goal-line clearances.

They lacked a cutting edge at the other end and struggled to create much from open play.

However, it is a different story from set pieces and Luke Berry was alive in the box, swivelling to earn a point for the Hatters.

It is still a big ask for Luton to stay up, especially with trips to Tottenham and Arsenal immediately after the international break.

But they have shown throughout this campaign that whatever the challenge they're faced with, they will fight until the end.
