The referee has been advised to check for a penalty as Branthwaite is hauled to the ground by Mengi. It’s now being checked and VAR has ordered the referee to head to the monitor, and he’s having a closer look at it. He’s made his decision… PENALTY TO EVERTON!

McNeil is driven into the penalty area and he goes to ground appealing for a penalty, but the referee says no! The Everton supporters aren’t happy, but it looked like he went down a little too easily.

20:16

Osho commits a foul on Calvert-Lewin as two go up for a header, and Everton will have a free-kick. It’s played short and Harrison fires it into the feet of Calvert-Lewin, who wins his side a throw-in. Godfrey will take and the Toffees go back towards the own goal, remaining patient.

Luton play a long ball over the top and Chong is running onto it. Tarkowski looks to leave it for Pickford, but Chong manages to get there first and he darts past the goalkeeper, flinging himself to the ground! He’s appealing for a penalty, but the referee says no and waves play on.

Everton are simply playing for pride at Kenilworth Road knowing they are already safe from the threat of relegation. Sean Dyche’s side defeated Brentford 1-0 at home in their last league match, their third straight win, leaving them in 15th place on 36 points. The Toffees have scored 37 goals and conceded 48 through 35 matches. The Merseyside outfit haven’t conceded during that three-game run, but they have struggled on the road of late. Everton are winless in nine away Premier League games (D3 L6) since beating Burnley 2-0 in December. This is the Toffees’ first away match against Luton since a 1-0 win in the League Cup in October 2007, with Tim Cahill netting an extra-time winner.

Luton are in 18th place on 25 points, a point from safety with three matches remaining, meaning a win would take them out of the relegation zone. The Hatters were defeated 2-1 in their last Premier League match at Molineux Stadium against Wolves, extending their losing streak to three. Rob Edwards’ side have already beaten Everton twice this season, once in the Premier League and once in the FA Cup fourth round. As a league club, the Hatters last beat another team three times in one season in 1988-89 against West Ham. 42% of Luton’s Premier League goals this season have come in the final 15 minutes of games (76th minute onwards), the highest share of any side this term (20/48).
