    FT: Luton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Right, after an absolutely frantic game at Kenilworth Road, let's take a look at the lay of the land ahead of our 15:00 BST kick-offs.

    I wonder if there's going to be another game today with 12 yellow cards and one red..

    Right then, IF it stays like this and Luton beat Nottingham Forest, here's what it means in the race for promotion.

    Leaders Fulham will be promoted back to the Premier League IF they beat Derby in tonight's late Championship kick-off at Pride Park.

    If Forest can equalise before full-time, Fulham will still be on the brink due to goal difference but the Cottagers won't be mathematically up today.

    Got it?

    Luton boss Nathan Jones makes a pointImage source, Rex Features

    Luton boss Nathan Jones will be pretty darn pleased if this match ends like this.

    A victory against Nottingham Forest, their play-off rivals, would give their aspirations of a top-six finish a massive boost after their defeat against Huddersfield on Monday.

    Defeat for Forest would end their five-game winning sequence and unbeaten run of 10 league games stretching back to a 2-1 defeat at Cardiff on 30 January.

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 70 mins

    Luton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Luton keeper James Shea is the EIGHTH player in this game to go into the book as he takes too long to take a goal kick.

    Luton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    Kal Naismith almost finds his second of the game to put the game to bed for Luton.

    He heads a ball into the Nottingham Forest box down into the ground and the ball bounces over the crossbar.

    Meanwhile, Philip Zinckernagel comes on for Scott McKenna for the visitors and almost finds a leveller within moments of coming on as he sends a diving header straight into the hands of James Shea.

  18. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 65 mins

    Luton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    That's seven bookings so far in this match.

  20. Postpublished at 62 mins

    Luton 1-0 Nottm Forest

    It's all Nottingham Forest at the minute, as Luton struggle to keep them at bay.

    That said, Forest are being reduced to pinging long balls about the Luton half at the minute, as the Hatters are doing a fairly decent job of keeping them outside of their box.

    Just under half an hour remains.
