Wolves vs Luton tips and predictions: Hatters' final realistic shot at Premier League survival
Luton Town will be looking to land a significant blow in the battle for survival when they take on Wolverhampton this Saturday (1500 BST).
Coach John Moore became the manager and led Luton to a highest top flight finish of seventh in the 1986/87 season, but he resigned at the end of the season because he didn't feel it was the right career for him.
The Hatters just missed out of the play-offs in the 2014/15 season, despite spending most of the campaign in the automatic promotion slots.
Then just nine years on from ending their five-season stretch in the Conference Premier, the Hatters celebrated their return to the top-flight for the first time since 1992 with victory in the play-off final against Coventry.
Previous point deductions and disappointments were left in the rear-view mirror at Wembley, where Jordan Clark's opener was cancelled out by Coventry favourite Gustavo Hamer.
Luton's biggest local rivals are Watford, with the two clubs separated by just 19 miles. They regularly met between 1900 and 1937, but Luton were then in a higher division than Watford through to 1963.
Due to the two sides' varying fortunes, the rivalry is played out irregularly. It did resume in the 2020/21 Championship season, with both sides winning their home fixture 1-0.
Watford have finished higher than Luton on the league ladder every season since 1997, apart from the 2022/23 season.
