Paul Merson expects Everton’s three-game winning streak to come to an end on Friday night.
In his weekly predictions, the former attacker predicts Luton Town will win 2-1 at Kenilworth Road.
Everton has secured Premier League football for next season, despite ongoing off-field issues.
Merson told Sportskeeda that there is no room for error in Friday’s crucial encounter for Luton Town. [Luton] needs to win this one.
“Everton might ease off the throttle now that they’re safe.
“Elijah Adebayo is back for Luton and I’m backing them to win despite the odds being stacked against them.”
Will Everton win four straight?
Despite complications surrounding Everton’s potential takeover by 777 Partners from Farhad Moshiri and Premier League profit and sustainability criteria resulting in eight points penalty, Sean Dyche’s team has performed well in recent weeks.
After avoiding relegation, Everton fans can take a minute to reflect on how the unfavourable deduction could have made everything significantly worse.
They are now ranked 15th; the eight-point difference would only move them up two places in the table.
Merson’s assessment of Luton’s chances in their first Premier League season may be accurate.
However, the assumption that they are underdogs at home against an unpredictable Everton side appears incorrect.
Rob Edwards’ side is desperate for points in order to overtake Nottingham Forest and Burnley for the final survival berth. It’s very possible that a club will finish the season with 30 points.
Gabby Agbonlahor is among those who support the Hatters, claiming that once-adored Blue son Ross Barkley may return to haunt his former team.
A well-balanced encounter will undoubtedly include action, mood, and a do-or-die spirit.
