LUTON TOWN need a miracle on the final day of the Premier League campaign to stay up but they will still want to finish with a flourish by beating Fulham.
With three points and 12 goals separating them from fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest, the Hatters must thrash Fulham and hope Forest get battered by a Burnley side already doomed to relegation.
There's next to no chance of that happening but Luton Town can take heart from taking the fight to the final day when most people backed them to finish bottom of the pile by a distance before a ball was kicked this season.
For mid-table Fulham, the season was effectively over the moment they lost to Liverpool in the League Cup semis. But Marco Silva's side will still want to end a decent campaign on a high by claiming a victory at Kenilworth Road.
How the bookies view it: Not much between the sides
Neither side is in particularly good form and that's reflected in the odds. Bet365 make Fulham slight favourites at 13/10, with Luton Town 17/10 and the draw paying 14/5.
Recent head to head: Game's a bogey for Hatters
Fulham have been something of a bogey team for Luton Town, going eight games unbeaten in this fixture since 1998. That run included a 7-0 Craven Cottage thrashing in 2022 but the last two games at Kenilworth Road have ended in draws.
Players to watch: Hot Rod can hit top gear
Rodrigo Muniz has been one of the most improved players in the Premier League since the turn of the year, netting nine times since February. The Brazilian is 13/8 at Bet365 to sign off with another goal.
Carlton Morris has led the line well for Luton this season and sits on 10 goals for the campaign like Muniz. The big striker is 13/10 to score and 13/2 to net with a header.
Probable line-ups
Ross Barkley went off injured in Luton's loss to West Ham and is a doubt for this game. Issa Diop is banned for Fulham after a red card against Manchester City and Sasa Lukic is an injury doubt.
Luton Town: Kaminski, Osho, Mengi, Burke, Clark, Sambi Lokonga, Onyedinma, Doughty, Morris, Adebayo, Chong.
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Bassey, Ream, Robinson, Palhinha, Cairney, Iwobi, Pereira, Willian, Muniz.
Anything else catch the eye?
Luton Town have been terrific value for goals all season and I cashed in by backing over 3.5 strikes in their loss to West Ham. Our man Mark also came up trumps as Fulham conceded four to Manchester City.
There's a danger this game could be an anti-climax but I'm going to back more thrills, with over 3.5 goals paying 13/10 and over 1.5 first-half strikes priced 6/5.
The Hatters have been racking up a lot of corners so try backing them at -1 in that handicap, which pays 6/4.
