Everton vs Luton tips and predictions: Toffees to finally win at home
Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Planet Sport Bet's Robbie Savage thinks Everton can cope with the pressure and pull off an important win against lowly Luton.
Everton go into this game with loads of confidence. Two away wins, one against Brentford in the league and then that great win against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.
But going back to Goodison offers a different proposition. There'll be huge amounts of pressure on them, scoring goals at Goodison has become a problem.
Both teams concede goals and Luton are on the back of a disappointing loss against Exeter.
This is the game that puts massive pressure on Sean Dyche, playing at home against Luton you have to win it.
Both teams will concede, I'm going with Everton, goals at Goodison, 3-1 win.
Robbie predicts: Everton 3-1 Luton
Team news
Vitalii Mykolenko will have a late fitness before the match, after being taken off midweek at half-time.
Jack Harrison played his first game against Villa as he makes a steady return from a hip injury and could feature again.
Andre Gomes, Seamus Coleman and Dele all remain sidelined.
Luton will be without Albert Sambi Lokonga after he picked up a hamstring injury that could keep him out for a couple of months.
Ross Barkley could return from a slight hamstring injury, but Dan Potts, Gabriel Osho and Jordan Clark are still out.
Key stats
- Everton not scored in three home games

These two haven't met in the league since 1992, when the legendary Howard Kendall was in charge at Everton. What the Goodison faithful would do for a manager like that now.
Dyche will be praying for a bit of Kendall magic on Saturday when Luton limp up to Merseyside.
This match could go one of two ways. Everton can't score at home, and Luton can't away, so it could be miserable goalless draw.
However, they both can't keep a clean sheet so it could be a cracker...for Everton fans.
Everton have picked up a bit of momentum with two wins on the spin, while Luton have a midweek defeat to League One side Exeter weighing heavy on their shoulders.
Calvert-Lewin is finally not injured and scoring (two in two) and he will cause problems to the Luton defence.
