Everton vs Luton Prediction & Betting Tips (27 January)

Not really spared by the draw for their start in this FA Cup, Everton managed to eliminate Crystal Palace thanks to a replay played at home 1-0. In the league, the Liverpool-based club finds itself under threat of relegation due to a 10-point deduction imposed by the authorities due to a breach of financial fair play rules. The Toffees are currently 17th in the Premier League and, with one more game, are 1 point more than the first relegated team. Without this sanction, they would be 12th today. After a string of good results, Sean Dyche's men performed less well in the last 4 days with 1 draw and 3 defeats. They lost to Tottenham 2-1, Manchester City 1-3 and Wolverhampton 3-0 before holding out at home to Aston Villa 0-0.

Luton Town were forced to go through a replay win on the Bolton lawn 1-2 to reach the round of 16 of this FA Cup. Back in the elite this season, the promoted player is logically struggling not to go down. Ross Barkley's teammates now occupy 18th place in the Premier League with 1 game less and 1 point behind their opponent of the day. They have recently shown good performances by achieving 2 victories in a row over Newcastle and Sheffield United. Since then, Luton narrowly fell to Chelsea 2-3 before taking a point at relegated Burnley 1-1.

Everton still cannot count on the long-term absentee Dele Alli, who was joined in the infirmary by the essential Doucouré (6 goals in PL). Furthermore, the experienced Coleman and Ashley Young and the midfielder Andre Gomes are uncertain while the Senegalese midfielder Gana Gueye is currently playing in the Africa Cup of Nations. Up front, we could find striker Calvert-Lewin (3 goals in PL). No transactions took place this winter with the Toffees. For Luton Town, it is worth noting the defections of captain Lockyer (victim of a heart attack during the match) and the important midfielder Nakamba. In addition, starting fullback Issa Kaboré (Burkina Faso) is currently involved in the CAN while defender Andersen is injured.

Finally, midfielder Clark is suspended while Belgian Lokonga is announced as doubtful. Former Nice player Ross Barkley plays a major role in this formation. This is also the case for striker Adebayo (5 goals in PL) who took the place of last season's goleador Morris (4 goals in PL). Luton Town is currently very calm in this winter transfer window with no major arrivals and departures.
