Sport nationLuton Town manager Rob Edwards believes that Everton have confirmed their Premier League status for another season following their 2-0 victory over Liverpool. The win, which came courtesy of goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, takes Everton up to 33 points, eight ahead of Luton, with four games to go.
Edwards thinks that the final two relegation spots are now between Nottingham Forest, Luton, and second-bottom Burnley, with basement club Sheffield United all but mathematically down. He praised Everton’s response to a difficult result a couple of weeks ago, saying: “Huge credit to them, they’ve turned things around quickly and very well.”
The Luton manager also believes that his own side can take inspiration from Everton’s turnaround, saying: “It shows you can do it, and this league is mad isn’t it? You see other teams winning heavily and losing heavily, it can happen if you drop your levels at all.”
Luton have had a week off following their humiliating 5-1 defeat to Chelsea, while tomorrow’s opponents Wolves were back in action on Wednesday night, losing 1-0 at home to AFC Bournemouth. Edwards is expecting a tough game, saying: “We know how difficult the midweek games are for us and three game weeks are difficult in the Premier League… I’m expecting the best Wolves tomorrow. They’ll want a reaction and they’ve done really well.”
The article also mentions that Luton have had a week off, while Wolves have had a busier schedule, which could be an advantage for the Hatters. However, Edwards is not taking anything for granted, saying: “I know they’ve had a difficult period, similar to us with injuries, lots of injuries and that clearly affects their performance levels, but I’ve watched some of their games and they’re really competitive.”
Overall, the article suggests that Luton Town have a tough task ahead of them if they are to avoid relegation, but manager Rob Edwards is remaining positive and is looking for his side to take inspiration from Everton’s recent turnaround.
