Match Preview
It has been a testing period on and off the field for Everton in recent weeks, as the Toffees are starring down the barrel of another points deduction in the Premier League. Their performances on the field have also been slightly underwhelming, as they have scored just once across their last three matches in all competitions.
Everton’s only goal across that period was netted in their most recent match on January 17, as they landed a 1-0 success in their third round replay against Crystal Palace. It was another cagey affair between the sides, with Andre Gomes eventually netting the winning goal. The win was their eleventh success in 14 previous home matches in the FA Cup.

Luton come into this match after winning just once in their last three across all competitions.
Their only success was recorded on January 16, as they battled to a 2-1 win on the road against Bolton in their FA Cup replay. Chiedozie Ogbene scored the winning goal in that match with just over half an hour remaining. The victory secured their spot in the fourth round of the competition for the fourth straight season.
Everton vs Luton Prediction
