    With this evening's big game at the bottom done and dusted, it's time to turn our attentions towards a big game at the top.

    Fourth-placed Fulham and sixth-placed Cardiff City lock horns at Craven Cottage in what could be a rehearsal for the play-offs depending on how things pan out over the next couple of weeks.

    Fulham, of course, do still harbour slim hopes of still reaching the top two - but sitting seven points adrift of West Bromwich Albion in second they're going to have to take maximum points from their remaining games to have any chance.

    For Cardiff, it's just a question of keeping their noses in front of the chasing pack.

    Bottom sixImage source, .

    This Championship relegation battle is certainly no closer to being decided after that 90 minutes.

    Just five points separate the bottom seven - up to Middlesbrough in 18th - with the small matter of Wigan Athletic's pending points deduction to throw into the mix as well.

    Wide. Open.

    Job done for Luton.

    They're still fighting for their survival right to the end.

    Huddersfield suffer a huge blow and will now have to wait and see exactly where that result leaves them with three games to play once everyone else at the bottom end has played this weekend.

    Sonny Bradley and Elliott Lee the toast of the Hatters tonight!

    Huddersfield 0-2 Luton

    Time for one more Luton change.

    Andrew Shinnie goes off after that booking and Martin Cranie gets a cameo appearance.

    Huddersfield 0-2 Luton

    There's been absolutely no more sense of urgency about Huddersfield's play coming forward even with this generous injury time.

    Another poor ball into Luton's penalty area is easily cleared.

    Luton's Andrew Shinnie meanwhile is booked for a late challenge on Harry Toffolo.

    I've absolutely no idea where they've conjured up seven minutes from in this second half?!

    My word.

    SEVEN MINUTES ADDED TIME!

    Still hope for Huddersfield?!

    Huddersfield 0-2 Luton

    Almost over in this one and Huddersfield now will face a nervous Saturday looking at scores from elsewhere.

    Two of their last three games are away from home too with the one remaining home game against automatic promotion-chasing West Brom next Friday.

    Dicey.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 86 mins

    Huddersfield 0-2 Luton

    Huddersfield's Juninho Bacuna in the book for well, not getting out of Pelle Ruddock Mpanzu's way really.

    Pretty easy decision that one for Geoff Eltringham the referee.

    Huddersfield 0-2 Luton

    Another poor Huddersfield set piece as a corner fails to reach the first man and Danny Hylton has an age to clear it for Luton.

    Danny Cowley must be absolutely seething at the lack of quality his side have shown coming forward.

    Huddersfield 0-2 Luton

    Aimless ball into the box from Huddersfield full-back Harry Toffolo really sums up how the game's gone for them.

    Easy catch for Luton keeper Simon Sluga who has yet to be really tested.

    Meanwhile James Collins makes way up top for Luton and it's Danny Hylton who comes on. There's also a welcome back for Kazenga LuaLua who replaces Elliott Lee.

    This is the first time Luton have scored more than once in eight Championship games.

    Two very well taken goals they've been as well.

    Huddersfield looking set to fall to a first defeat in four games.

    Another change for Huddersfield.

    Elliott Lee's dad would definitely have been proud of that strike!

    Lee Jnr's first goal in open play this season by all accounts as well.

    What a time to get it.

    Huddersfield now in desperate need of something to stay in this game.

    GOAL: Huddersfield 0-2 Lutonpublished at 71 mins

    Elliott Lee

    Great goal this and it could be a hammer blow for both sides' survival hopes.

    James Collins was in on goal for Luton first and he almost got it himself despite looking a mile offside as he broke clear.

    His shot hammers off the base of the post but the rebound falls to Elliott Lee and he strikes a superb effort into the roof of the net.

    Hatters ecstatic!

    Bit of a blow for Luton as midfielder Harry Cornick has to hobble off with an injury.

    Callum McManaman replaces him.

    Chance at the other end now.

    Emile Smith Rowe with his trickery almost finds the target after shifting the ball on to his right foot from Chris Willock's ball in.

    Opening up now.

    Huddersfield make a double change as Juninho Bacuna and Andy King replace Lewis O'Brien and Jonathan Hogg.

    Close to a Luton second!

    Lovely break forward from James Collins as he carries the ball into the Huddersfield area on his right.

    Takes aim and that is just inches wide of the right post as Jonas Lossl was well beaten.

    Nearly a lovely finish.
