Tottenham’s quest to qualify for the Champions League resumes on Saturday afternoon, when they play relegation-threatened Luton Town.
Ange Postecoglou’s team suffered a 3-0 defeat to Fulham before the March international break, one of their poorest performances of the season, but a win over the Hatters would bring them level on points with top-four opponents Aston Villa.
Nottingham Forest‘s points deduction has improved Luton’s chances of avoiding relegation. However, Rob Edwards’ team is only one point away from the bottom three and has a lot of work to do before the end of the season.
Here’s a look at Tottenham vs Luton Town in Gameweek 30.

Spurs team news
Micky van de Ven is Postecoglou’s main injury concern, having missed the Fulham loss and the March internationals. However, the quick Dutch defender may be fit enough to play on Saturday afternoon.
Fraser Forster, Ryan Sessegnon, and Manor Solomon are all still out due to injuries, but Richarlison, who came off the bench against Fulham after being unused by Brazil against England and Spain, might play.
Tottenham Predicted lineup vs. Luton Town.
(4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison.
Luton Town Team News
Luton’s fight against relegation is becoming increasingly difficult as injuries mount up. Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu may be out due to an injury sustained against Forest, while Alfie Doughty’s participation is also uncertain.
Chiedozie Ogbene was injured while on international duty for Ireland, however the severity of the injury is unknown at this time. Mads Andersen, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and Gabriel Osho will be monitored ahead of the encounter, while Marvellous Nakamba, Jacob Brown, Tom Lockyer, Joe Johnson, Elijah Adebayo, Dan Potts, and Amari’i Bell are all out.
Luton Town’s probable lineup vs. Tottenham

Tottenham vs. Luton Town score prediction
Tottenham’s inconsistency must be addressed if they are to defeat Villa and Manchester United and qualify for the Champions League. They suffered a crushing defeat against Fulham, but Postecoglou has since spent a significant amount of time with many of his squad members as he seeks to return Spurs to winning ways.
Luton are capable of frustrating any Premier League team, but given Edwards’ problems, it’s difficult to see the Hatters coming away with anything from this meeting.
Spurs should have too much talent for their opponents on Saturday.
Prediction: Tottenham 3–1 Luton Town
