Everton finally got underway with a win, beating Brentford 3-1, and then followed this up by defeating a decent Aston Villa side in the EFL Cup. They now welcome a despondent Luton Town team, as they attempt to capitalise upon this good run of form.

Both of these sides are considered prime suspects for a relegation battle, something that has held true for the Toffees for the last two years. This contest could prove to be crucial towards the end of the year.
However, it also presents the opportunity for Everton to capitalise on a decent run of form and gain some early points that could end up aiding them in their plight at the back end of the season.
Lowly sides not burgeoning with corners
No one would claim these sides have been exceptionally excellent in their league campaigns this year, Luton having gained just one point from their first five games. With this lack of success has come a severe drought in their corner rate.
Everton has only averaged around 5.67 corners per game but hasn’t achieved this in either of their last two matches and may be hard-pressed to replicate this against a staunch Luton side.
The Hatters themselves have performed remarkably poorly in this aspect also averaging 4.33 corners in their away matches and only managed to secure five in one of their three road games.
One would expect this to hold true once more as two of the league's worst sides struggle to put together sustained attacks and draw corners from their opposition.

Toffees coming unstuck at home
Despite their poor run of form, to last week, Everton seems to be performing admirably in their home games, attacking well and keeping the opposition keeper on their toes.
They have averaged an impressive 6.67 shots on target among their matches at Goodison Park, this average even holding against the likes of Arsenal.
Luton presents far less of a challenge than the league runners-up and should permit Everton the chance to take aim at the target.

Keeping it clean at Goodison
Surprisingly, from teams at the bottom, these two sides have managed to keep it remarkably clean in their recent matches, drawing little if no attention from the refs.
Even with the rule changes these sides have managed to keep it clean across their first set of matches.
The Toffees have averaged 2 per match, yet have only hit this in four of their six matches, with only one of these being a home game. This includes just having three bookings in their three home matches.
Luton has managed to keep it even cleaner than that of Everton, shockingly so considering Championship sides are often famed for their hard style of play.
This comes with an average of 1.6 cards per game and them only having two or more bookings in just over half of their matches.
Look for both of these sides to go the same way in the match as they both battle for points in the match.
