Frustration with pen is other games players can do that, plus ref takes five minutes to decide. (Look forward to a season without VAR)

HT: Luton 1-1 Everton
In Carlton Morris and Elijah Adebayo (10 goals each), Luton have seen two players hit double figures in a top-flight season for the first time since 1986-87 (Mike Newell and Brian Stein, 12 each).
Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has won at least a share of the Golden Glove.
The Brentford loanee has kept 14 clean sheets this season and Everton's Jordan Pickford can now, at best, join him on that amount.
If they both finish on 14, they would share it - there is no tie-breaker.
David de Gea, who still doesn't have a club after leaving Manchester United, won it last year.

Level at the break. Luton probably need a win really.

Alfie Doughty is causing a lot of mayhem down the left. The Luton defender puts a cross in which Carlton Morris heads across the six-yard box but nobody can put it in.

Oooh, close. Luton striker Carlton Morris is picked out on the corner of the box, cuts inside Ashley Young and curls a shot towards the far post but it goes just wide.

Is it really a Luton game if they don't make it tough on the heart? I'm glad to have Adebayo back, though, as he adds so much pressure up front.

Jack Harrison swings in a cross from the right which hits two Luton players and drops just wide. Corner to Everton.

A Luton set-piece routine lands to Alfie Doughty near the corner of the box but his volley bounces into the gloves of Jordan Pickford.

Six minutes added on.

Everton defender Ben Godfrey beats Tahith Chong to the ball and the Luton forward chops him down as he goes for the ball which is no longer there. Yellow card.

Calvert-Lewin getting back playing and netting some goals as well has really enlightened the whole mood around the club. So much so my dog is running around like a maniac in excitement!

But here come Everton again, they're on top at this moment. Jack Harrison cuts in from the right and curls a shot wide of the far post. It wasn't the best effort from the winger.

A nice lengthy passing move from Everton until Ben Godfrey loses the ball.

Luton are playing with more confidence since the equaliser. Fred Onyedinma's cross is booted into touch.

I wish this VAR team was the VAR for the Arsenal spurs game. At least we are seeing fair outcomes that was a nailed on pen and Ben White should have been sent off about three times.

Everton try to play it out from the back. Classic... Sean Dyche?

I blame the defensive coaches firstly then the defenders thinking they can get away with holding with cameras all around the ground. What are they thinking.

Luton win a corner and their home fans are making so much noise.

Luton Town 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. The last newly promoted club to beat the Toffees three times in a season were Leeds United in 1964-65.
This is Everton’s 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. Their last league visit to Kenilworth Road also ended in a 1-0 victory back in November 1991 thanks to a Robert Warzycha goal.
Everton could lose both Premier League games against Luton this season in what is the Hatters’ maiden campaign. Only three teams have beaten the Toffees home and away in their first Premier League season (excl. 1992-93): Newcastle in 1993-94, Sunderland in 1996-97 and Brentford in 2021-22.
This will be Everton’s first Premier League game on a Friday since beating Arsenal 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium in April 2021. Both of their away wins on Friday in the competition have been 1-0 (also v Middlesbrough in December 2008), with the Toffees conceding 15 goals in the five such games they haven’t won (D1 L4).
Luton have won just one of their last 14 Premier League games (D3 L10), with no side picking up fewer points than the Hatters since the start of this run (6). Despite this, they’ve only failed to score in one of their last 23 league games, a 2-0 defeat at league leaders Arsenal last month.
Everton have won each of their last three league games, each without conceding, although all three were at Goodison Park. The Toffees could win four in a row while keeping a clean sheet each time for the second time in the Premier League this season (also in December); only seven sides have had two separate runs of 4+ wins without conceding in a single campaign, five of whom went on to be crowned champions that season.
Everton are winless in nine away Premier League games (D3 L6) since beating Burnley 2-0 in December. Indeed, while five of the Toffees’ first eight league wins this season came away from home, each of their last four have all been at Goodison Park.
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).
Carlton Morris is Luton’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with 10 goals. He’s scored in four of his last six appearances at Kenilworth Road, and also netted the Hatters’ winner in the reverse fixture against Everton.
Luton’s Ross Barkley – who made 150 league appearances for Everton between 2011 and 2017 – has scored just one goal in 10 Premier League games against sides he’s previously played for in the competition. However, that strike did come in a match at Kenilworth Road this season, a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea.
