Luton’s time in the Premier League could come to an end unless the club beats West Ham United in the penultimate week of the campaign.
A London derby trip to West Ham could decide Luton Town’s Premier League fate on Saturday, with the Hatters facing possible relegation on the penultimate weekend of the season should they fail to win. Three points is all that separates Rob Edwards’ side from safety as things stand, but that gap is both so near and so far at this late stage of the campaign, with one of the relegated teams already confirmed. Luton’s drop back down to the Championship will be guaranteed should they fail to win while 17th-place Nottingham Forest get a result at home to Chelsea, meaning fate is almost out of its hands.

The Hammers already beat Luton once this season when goals from Jarrod Bowen and Kurt Zouma secured a 2-1 win at Kenilworth Road in September.
That was the first competitive clash between these teams in more than 30 years, but the pressure is well and truly on for Luton this time around as the team attempts to salvage its top-tier membership.
Luton has won just two of its last 16 games in all competitions but did strike from behind to bag a 1-1 draw at home to Everton last time out, where Elijah Adebayo marked his return from injury with an important equalizer:
That strike could end up playing a pivotal role come the end of the campaign, while David Moyes is fighting to ensure West Ham finishes in the top half following a free fall in form over recent weeks.
The east Londoners haven’t won in six and last recorded a home Premier League victory on February 26, their only top-flight win at London Stadium so far this calendar year.
Central defenders Konstantinos Mavropanos and Nayef Aguerd are doubts for West Ham but could feature here, while Edwards’ Luton is still dealing with a glut of absences.
Regional restrictions may apply.
