“I don’t want to go back to the Championship, and I know the lads don’t either.”

These were the words of Rob Edwards in his interview with Emma John ahead of Luton’s trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City, but today is probably one his side will have to write off in their pursuit of survival. The Hatters have been great value during their return to the top flight but a visit to the home of the champions is probably not what the doctor ordered at this stage of the season. City, fresh from playing out a 3-3 thriller at the Bernabeu, are motivated and in form.

Events at the City Ground will be closely monitored by Luton fans. Nottingham Forest, level on points with Edwards’ men, take on a Wolves side who have faltered lately under the weight of a lengthy injury list.

Elsewhere, Brighton will be aiming to keep their faint and fading European hopes alive by beating Burnley, while Brentford can take a step closer to safety with a win over Sheffield United.

In the Championship, Ipswich can go top of the table by ending a two-game winless run against Middlesbrough. Defeat at Portman Road would all but end any playoff hopes for Michael Carrick’s side.

At the other end of the table, Sheffield Wednesday travel to Stoke knowing a win would see them draw level with the Potters’ points tally and prolong the relegation dogfight. Elsewhere, fellow strugglers Huddersfield head to Ashton Gate to take on Bristol City and Birmingham host Coventry. Millwall, who have daylight in the race to avoid the drop, take on Cardiff.

Portsmouth can win the League One title if they beat Bolton, while Fleetwood will join doomed Carlisle in League Two next season if they fail to beat Northampton and Burton win at Stevenage.

In the fourth tier, Stockport will seal promotion if they get a point or better against Morecambe.
