Luton Town vs Fulham prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2023-24
The odds of Luton Town surviving the drop are rather unrealistic as they welcome Fulham to Kenilworth Road on the final day of the 2023-24 Premier League season. The Hatters are currently 18th in the table with 26 points. Nottingham Forest are 17th with 29 points and have a far better goal difference.
Rob Edwards' men practically have just pride to play for when the Cottagers come around on Sunday. Dreamland would have seemed within sight when they squared off against West Ham United at the London Stadium last Saturday.
But it turned out to be yet another disappointing outing for Luton, falling 3-1 to David Moyes' men. The Hatters have lost 23 Premier League matches this season and are almost certain to return to the Championship next term.
Meanwhile, after enjoying a period of resurgence, Fulham's Premier League campaign is sputtering and coughing its way to the finish line. The Cottagers are 14th in the league table and are winding down their season in poor form having picked up just one win from the last eight matches.
Goals have dried up for Marco Silva's unit in recent weeks. They have scored just two goals in their last four matches. Fulham could potentially climb to 12th in the table with a win and that could spur them to show up at Kenilworth with purpose on Sunday.
Luton Town vs Fulham Head-to-Head

Luton Town vs Fulham Prediction
Luton Town have picked up just a single win from their last 16 Premier League matches. They need to pick up a massive win here and hope Nottingham Forest suffer a huge defeat against Burnley to have a chance of surviving the drop.
But it is unlikely to happen. The game is practically a dead rubber and the two teams are expected to cancel each other out.
Prediction: Luton Town 2-2 Fulham
