Luton Town – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club is a dangerous opponent at the home arena
“The Hatters” generally confirm sceptical predictions about their debut in the Premier League format. And they were crushed with a 5-1 score not only by Manchester City, but also by Brentford in April. Still, they had beat Bournemouth at the home arena before and, generally speaking, the native arena brought 15 of 25 points. At the same time, the team finished the struggles with Wolverhampton with a 1-2 result.
Everton – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club is so far managing to cope with punishments from football officials
“The Toffees”, being under the leadership of Sean Dyche, are showing the ability to, firstly, pull themselves together at a key moment and, secondly, concentrate their efforts. It was not possible to win during 13 rounds in a row, but after re-qualifying points for 3 matches, they beat Burnley (1-0) and Nottingham Forest (2-0) without conceding even a single goal, although the team conceded 6 goals in the game against Chelsea with terrible mistakes made by Pickford between these matches. The following fights confirmed the return to the shape. First, there happened a 2-0 success in the derby with Liverpool. Moreover, there was enough strength to win the battle against Brentford, albeit minimally – 1-0.
Luton Town: team news
The already weak squad is decimated by injuries. Up to a dozen players are at risk of missing the key match, including Brown, Nakamba and Ogbene. Well, speaking about Lockyer, who is the captain, the entire career is in doubt due to heart problems.
Everton: team news
It is a little easier for the guests from Liverpool, but Calvert-Lewin, Patterson, Beto, Coleman and Dobbin will not play. Also, Alli, who declares his intention to play at the next World Cup, but is not included in Dyche’s plans, is out of the game. And Mykolenko has already confirmed that he will return only next season.
Luton Town vs Everton: possible starting line-ups

Previous head-to-head matches
After a difficult success over the outsider in the cup in the autumn of 2007, “the Blues” played with them this season. And they lost twice to the Premier League newcomer at Goodison Park with the same score – 1-2: that happened in the Premier League in September and in the cup in January.

“The Blues” are on a great run. It is hard to say if it is possible to extend it with a victory, but a bet on the guests against such a modest opponent with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.9) looks promising.
