Luton Town host relegation-battling Blackpool at the Kenilworth Road Stadium in the EFL Championship on Monday (April 10), looking to keep the heat on second-placed Sheffield United.
With Burnley securing a return to the Premier League, the Blades are eyeing to become the next team to seal their top-flight qualification, but the Hatters are hot on their heels.
Only eight points separate the two sides, but Sheffield have a game in hand over Luton, who saw their push for a top-two finish fizzle out after drawing twice in three games.
Blackpool, meanwhile, are second from bottom and are running out of time to salvage their campaign. With only 35 points, the Tangerines are seven adrift of safety and have lost their last three games.
After thrashing QPR 6-1 last month, the Lancashire outfit lost to Coventry, Preston and Cardiff on the bounce, conceding ten goals and scoring thrice.
