Luton Town secure stopper on emergency loan

Luton Town will guarantee a place in the play-offs this season if they can beat Fulham at Craven Cottage.

However, the hosts also have something to play for with a point enough to all but confirm them as EFL champions.

Defeat for the Hatters would see them drop a place in the table to sixth as they are currently level on points and goal difference with Sheffield United.

That match is due for a 17:15 kick off with Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest playing each other tomorrow in another fixture with huge promotion implications.

Once both games have concluded then all teams in the division will have played the same amount of games going into the final round of fixtures on Saturday.

Luton will be at home to Reading and will still have their fate in their own hands even if they suffer defeat against the Cottagers tonight.

With six points on offer they only need three to guarantee a place in the top six but Middlesbrough and Millwall are both close behind and looking to chase them down.

Away from the action on the pitch there is still plenty of chatter as the summer transfer window gets closer and closer.
