LUTON TOWN have just three games left to save their Premier League skins and you suspect they will need a victory at home to Everton tonight to stand a chance.
The Hatters remain just a point behind Nottingham Forest but their drop rivals will be strong favourites to beat rock-bottom Sheffield United on Saturday.
And with second-bottom Burnley sitting just one point behind Luton Town after finding some form, Rob Edwards' side desperately need a morale-boosting victory.
The good news for them is that Everton now have nothing to play for after securing their own safety and the Toffees head into the game with more speculation raging about their disastrous finances.

Luton Town vs Everton: Top Betting Tips
Luton Town have been a friend of BTTS punters this season, with that bet failing to land in just nine of their 40 games in all competitions. They won 2-1 at Goodison Park earlier this season so I thought combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals would be a lot shorter than the 10/11 on offer at Bet365.
Both teams are renowned for their set-piece prowess so backing a lot of corners looks like a wise move too. Over 11.5 flag kicks pays 6/5 with SkyBet while Bet365 price over five first-half corners at 21/20. Luton won 7-4 on the corner count at Goodison and backing them at -1 in the corner handicap here pays 7/5 at BoyleSports.
With this game meaning much more to Luton Town than it does to Everton, it could pay to back the Hatters for most cards at 13/8 with Bet365.
Barnsley vs Bolton Wanderers: Top Betting Tips
The play-offs get underway in League One tonight and it should be a belter as Barnsley and Bolton face off at Oakwell.
Wanderers finished 11 points ahead of the Tykes, who scraped into sixth place after taking just two points from their last six games. So it's no surprise to see Bolton as 1/2 hot favourites to reach the final, with Barnsley 13/8 at Bet365.
Ian Evatt's team are on a seven-game unbeaten run but three of their last four have ended in draws. The stalemate tonight pays 5/2 at Paddy Power but the half-time draw is more likely at 13/10 with Bet365.
SPFL Championship final night: Top Betting Tips
It's the final night of the regular season in the SPFL Championship and we sadly won't be seeing the same kind of drama as last year.
Twelve months ago, nine of the 10 teams had something to play for and Dundee just pipped Queen's Park to the title after beating the Spiders 5-3 in a thriller.
But the only issue still to be decided tonight is who avoids finishing in the relegation play-off place, with Queen's Park desperate to avoid more final-day pain.
After beating Arbroath last weekend, Callum Davidson's men know another win at home to Airdrieonians will be enough to save their skins. The Diamonds may rest a few players ahead of their promotion play-off quarter-final so Queen's Park look good value at 20/21 (McBookie) for the win.
Dom Thomas was the hero last weekend with a double and the winger is 11/4 with Paddy Power for another goal tonight.
Inverness currently sit a point behind Queen's Park and need a victory at home to Morton while hoping their rivals slip up. Duncan Ferguson's men are also 19/20 for a win at Betfair and that looks good value.

This looks too big, I’d have thought about 8-11 for this..
⚽ William hills yet again bottom of the pile with 4-5 BTTS ⚽
Wexford after listening their first game away to Athlone have seen BTTS in all 11 since then.
All 5 home games BTTS with 4 BTTS overs.
Athlone only scored in 2/6 away games but the 4 blanks were all to top sides in the league
Wexford average 3 match goals a game
Athlone about 3 goals a game.
Last 5 head to head here since 2021 seen all 5 with over 2.5 goals and 4 of if then BTTS and overs.
1-4 3-0. 3-1 2-1. 4-4
Prediction 2-1
Finished in a Desmond ⚽🇮🇪👍
